Roasted Fried Pears



Ingredients

3 pears, unpeeled and quartered

4 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon sea salt

pinch of black pepper

1/2 cup flour

1 large egg, beaten

1/2 cup bread crumbs

2 cups balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon sugar

5 oz (142g) thinly sliced prosciutto

2 heads frisee

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil





How to Cook



1. To roast the pears, place the pears, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pinch of pepper on a baking sheet and cook the pears till tender but not limp, about 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.

2. To fry the pears, place the flour, pinch of salt, and a pinch of pepper on a large plate. Place eggs in a shallow bowl and the bread crumbs on another large plate. Dredge the pears in the flour, then in the egg, then in the bread crumbs.



3. Place a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and when it is hot, add the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Add the pears and cook until crispy and golden brown, being gentle to turn them, about 2 minutes each side.



4. Make the balsamic glaze by placing the vinegar and sugar in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until reduced to a syrup, and it drags on a spoon, about 20 minutes. You should have about 4 tablespoons.



5. Place 2 to 3 slices prosciutto on each of 6 salad plates. Top with frisee and drizzle with lemon juice extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Top with fried pears and drizzle with balsamic glaze. Serve immediately.
