Poached pears are always an elegant dessert, but this super simple recipe is simply the best!
This easy prep dish can be made a couple of days ahead of service, and you guests will be totally blown away, as mine have been.
My dear friend, Paula Wolfert was given this recipe by Chef Fatima Mountassamin of the restaurant Le Tobsil in Marrakech and you will find it in her recent book, The Food of Morocco.
Enjoy!
