Roasted pears with thyme

Ingredients

4 servings

• 1 sprig of thyme
• 4 generous tablespoons of heavy cream
• 2 halves of lemon juice
• 30 g of sugar
• 30 g of butter
• 30 cl of orange juice
• 2 pears

Steps

1. 1

   Peel the pears, remove the core (seeds), cut the pears in half lengthwise, and trim the rounded side slightly so the pears can lie flat.

2. 2

   Melt the sugar in a large pan over high heat. Once the sugar has melted, lower the heat, deglaze with lemon juice, and add the butter.

3. 3

   Place the pears flat-side down in the pan, let them caramelize for 1 minute, then deglaze with orange juice. Add the thyme and cook for 5 minutes on each side over low heat, basting the pears continuously with the cooking juices (add more orange juice if it has reduced too much).

4. 4

   Check if the pears are done by piercing with a knife; if the pear is tender, it is cooked. Place the pear on a plate and drizzle with the cooking juices. Finish with a generous spoonful of raw cream over the pears. Enjoy!
