Tip
Instructions
First of all, steep the verbena in hot water, then leave it to cool.
Strain the herbal tea, then add the vanilla, the four-spice mix (½ teaspoon), the honey and the mild-flavoured olive oil.
Peel the pear, cut it in half and slice it lengthways into thin slices.
- Marinate the pear in the mixture of verbena, spices, honey and olive oil.
- Separate the pear from the marinade, keeping the marinade to one side.
Heat a knob of butter in a frying pan and fry the pear slices on both sides. Arrange them in a deep plate.
In a frying pan, simmer the marinade over a low heat until it thickens. Pour it over the pears. It’s ready!
Tip
For this recipe, choose a PDO huile d'olive de Nyons (subtle taste) for its notes of dried fruit and buttery flavour, possibly accompanied by hints of fresh hazelnuts and/or freshly cut grass.
