Pear and Chocolate Crumble
Hi guys,
A colleague of mine, Sebastien, once made us all a delicious pear and chocolate crumble (which goes very well with vanilla ice cream). I have since made it a few times and it went down very well. As it happens I have ended up dispensing the recipe to three people in the last week, so I thought I might as well share it with the masses. It's really easy, and the ingredients all keep for a while so you can keep them in the cupboard for when you need to make a dessert. Anyway, without further ado:
250g flour
200g sugar
Approx. 100g butter (ideally salted, but doesn't matter, soften in the microwave)
3 x tin pears (I think they are 400g with the liquid)
1 1/2 bars plain chocolate
Mix the flour, butter and sugar to give a crumble like consistency (supposedly you get the consistency right by varying the butter, but both times I made it 100g of butter was exactly the right amount to produce this). Put the pears in the dish and break the chocolate so it is fairly evenly distributed. Sprinkle the crumble mix on top. Put it in the oven at about 180C for about 40 to 45 minutes. It's really that easy.
If you fancy playing around with the recipe, apparently it's good with any of pear, apple, and apricot. Also if you uParmesansan cheese instead of sugar, you can replace the fruit and chocolate with vegetables and make some sort of vegetable bake.
Enjoy! :)
