The buttery puff pastry and sweet, spiced pears in these Pear Tarts go so well together. They are a classy dessert or a tasty snack any time of the day.
Instructions: Preheat oven to 375F 190C. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each puff pastry sheet into a 6-inch square. In a bowl, toss pear slices with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice until well coated. Arrange pear slices on each puff pastry square, leaving a border around the edges. Fold edges of puff pastry over the pears, slightly overlapping. Transfer tarts to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until pastry is golden brown. In a small saucepan, heat apricot preserves and water over medium heat until melted and smooth. Brush warm apricot glaze over the baked tarts. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
A lovely quinoa salad that is both healthy and refreshing, with sweet pears and tart dried cherries. The walnuts and feta cheese give it a satisfying crunch and a creamy texture. This salad is great as a side dish or light meal because it is dressed in a simple balsamic vinaigrette.
Ingredients: 1 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained. 2 cups water. 1 ripe pear, diced. 1/2 cup dried cherries. 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley. 1/4 cup chopped walnuts. 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar. Salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions: Put the quinoa and water in a medium-sized saucepan. After it starts to boil, turn down the heat, cover, and let it cook for 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is done and the water is absorbed. Use a fork to fluff it up, then let it cool down. Diced pear, dried cherries, parsley, walnuts, and feta cheese should all be put in a large bowl together. Salt and pepper should be mixed with olive oil in a small bowl. Add the dressing to the quinoa and toss it all together. You can serve it right away or put it in the fridge for a few hours to let the flavors mix. If you want, you can add more parsley, walnuts, and feta as a garnish before serving.
