This was so ridiculously easy, fast and delicious, I could not believe it. I fixed kind of a salisbury steak thingee (cube steak, demi-glace with a can of mushrooms) served over Giada's raviolis. Needed something more.
(I wrote it up 'cause it's going in one of the books as a side)
Sautéed Pears
Easy, easy and so fast! Tastes delicious and great with beef, what more could you ask for?
2 Pears
2 T. unsalted butter
Pinch of nutmeg or grated fresh nutmeg
Melt the butter in an 8- to 10-inch non-nonstick skillet over medium heat. While the butter is heating, slice the pear, unpeeled and don’t worry about the seeds, in slices, each about 3/8” wide. You should get 6 out of each pear.
When the butter is hot lay half the pear slices in one layer in the skillet and grind or sprinkle a very light coating of nutmeg over each slice. Cook on the first side until browned, about 3 to 5 minutes, turn them over and brown the other side. Remove the cooked pears to a heated plate and keep warm, while cooking the remaining pear slices.

It was delicious with the beef and by itself. What a fast tasty dinner this was. If you use fresh nutmeg, it will be much better, which I'm always using now.

Retired and having fun writing cookbooks, tasting wine and sharing recipes with all my friends.
