D’Anjou Pear Tofu Noodle Bowl

16 Jan

I had been meaning to use pears in more recipes ever since attending the illustrious pear lunch at Meme. I have no idea where I came up with this idea but it actually worked.  This is a very simple and quick dish.

The D’Anjou pears happened to be on sale at Whole Foods so I decided to grab them.  My consultant for all things culinary ThisIsAHotJam suggested salting the pears to draw out some of their moisture and start the pickling process.  I would have never thought to do that but I’m really happy he suggested it.

Pro-tip: You can omit the dashi to make this a vegan recipe.

Pear Sausage Cranberry Stuffing

12 Dec

Recently, we had another potluck (read #potlucky) hosted by the illustrious Jackie from Cupcake Karma.  In traditional potluck style, everyone brought one dish and some sort of alcoholic beverage.  Jackie told me that she was making a turkey so stuffing was a natural side dish.

I had made this recipe on the Thanksgiving that just happened a few weeks back and it was a big hit with my family.  This time, I didn’t cook the pears with the veggies.  Instead, I tossed them with the hot veggies out of the pan just to wake them up a bit.  I really like D’Anjou for this recipe because they have a bright flavor that cuts through the fat content in this dish.
