Ingredients

Red wine, dry 600 ml
Balsamic vinegar, light 50 ml
Sea salt pinch
Brown sugar 2 tbsp
Pears 4 pcs.
Walnut kernels 4 tbsp
Thyme, fresh 10 g
Blue cheese 100 g
Sour cream 4 tbsp
Pepper, black ground pinch

Instructions

1. The day before, bring wine (preferably port wine, alternatively sweet red wine), balsamic vinegar, salt, and sugar to a boil in a pot. Peel the pears, cut them in half, remove the core, and cook them in the boiling port wine for about 5–7 minutes until tender but not falling apart.
2. Place the pears in a bowl, reduce the port wine for about 3 minutes until thickened, pour it over the pears, and let it cool. Let it steep overnight.
3. Before serving, roughly chop the walnuts. Heat a pan over medium heat and dry roast the walnuts for about 2 minutes.
4. Wash the thyme, shake off excess water, and strip the leaves from the stems. Cube the blue cheese. In a bowl, mix the cheese with sour cream and thyme. Season with pepper.
5. Drain the pear halves and arrange them on plates. Spread the cheese cream on top, drizzle some of the port wine reduction around, and sprinkle with walnuts. Enjoy your meal!
