	Kochhexe / All my dishes 1 year, 10 months ago for those who (like I) do not or cannot eat sugar or sweet desserts and love the combination of cheese with fruit - this is it! even my father, did not really go for italian food, loved this dessert - maybe because I served champagne with it?

Ingredients

4 firm, small, ripe pears

1 TBSP lemon juice, fresh

1/4 cup gorgonzola or other blue cheese, at room temperature

(there is a danish one which is quite lovely, not as 'harsh' as gorgonzola)

2 TBSP butter (approx.)

4 TBSP freshly ground walnuts (approx.), pine nuts or pistachio nut

(i used a mixture of all three)

Directions

peel pears

cut in halves, so that the stem is kept intact on one side

(ok, then it will not be perfect 'halves' - but lets not get mathematical about that :-) )

remove kernels and about

1 TBSP of 'flesh' (pulp?)

immediately brush withlemon juice to avoid pears becoming brown

mix gorgonzola with butter until soft and creamy-foamy

(i take a wooden spoon, definitely NOT WITH A MIXER OR OTHER ELECTRIC TOOL)

fill both sides of pear halves with mixture

press together to make a hole one again

(heavens, describing this is difficult :-) )

roll pears in nut mixture

place on serving dish

refridgerate about 2 (two) hours or until mixture is firm.

looks pretty - i decorate with some mint leaves

Thank you for your encouragement, Pat. makes me want to keep on trying - if only the right words came to my mind when i need them - i am a bit rusty with my 'kitchen english' - this here is a great opportunity for me to stay in training.

Kochhexe, pear and blue cheese are one of my favorite fruit/cheese combos - we often eat it on a piece of french bread, with a good glass of wine on the side! I have to try your method, and the nut coating would be excellent - thank you for sharing this (and I think your "kitchen English" is great!).

Fruit and cheese were made for each other... I believe this particular match was made in heaven. Und machen Sie keine Sorgen, Ihr Kueche-Englisch ist ziemlich gut, es war mir deutlich zu verstehen!
