Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Breakfast, Brunch

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 small pears
100g caster sugar
juice of ½ a lemon
1 vanilla pod (alternatively, use 1 tsp vanilla bean paste)
1 tbsp almond butter
toasted flaked almonds

Steps:

  • Peel, halve and core the pears. Mix the sugar and lemon juice with 200ml water in a small saucepan. Halve the vanilla pod and scrape the seeds into the pan, then add the pod (or add the vanilla bean paste). Heat until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Add the pears and cover the surface with a circle of baking parchment (this will ensure the pears cook through evenly). Cook for 15-20 mins until the pears feel soft when poked with a knife, then leave to cool. Can be kept chilled in the liquid for up to one week.
  • Meanwhile, make your porridge. Mix the almond butter with enough poached pear liquid to form a drizzling consistency, then spoon over the porridge and top the bowls with the pears. Scatter with the toasted flaked almonds.
