• Cook for 1-2 mins on each side or until tender and lightly golden. Serve with some crème fraîche or yogurt, if you like.

FRIED PEARS

Steps:

• 1. Mix together sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
• 2. Heat butter and oil in a medium skillet over medium heat (the oil helps to keep the butter from burning). Prepare the pears while heating the butter (this way they don't have time to turn dark). Add pears and saute until just tender.
• 3. Sprinkle with the sugar cinnamon mixture (As little or as much as you like). Stir gently to coat all of the slices. Turn off the heat.
• 4. Add nuts, stir gently to mix. Serve with whipped cream or over vanilla ice cream.
