Time for Brits to discover the power of pears.
(From Western Daily Press)
Did you know that in Italy pears have been known for hundreds of years to hold aphrodisiac qualities and even the reserved Swiss apparently believe in the power of the pear. We British apparently only eat about one-tenth of the pears our Italian friends eat. Well, the wonderful summer we have enjoyed has borne fruit in that there are now plenty of pears around at the moment, so perhaps we should start consuming them in far greater quantities! So indulge in some of the new season's conference variety, and some of the excellent comice.
Comice Pear Vinaigrette Serves 4 5 tbsp (75ml) olive oil 2 tbsp (30ml) white wine vinegar 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice salt and freshly ground pepper 1 tsp (5ml) caster sugar 1 clove garlic l tsp (2.5ml) Dijon mustard 1 tbsp (15ml) finely chopped fresh parsley 2 large ripe comice pears watercress for garnish Peel and crush the garlic and put into a food processor or blender with all the remaining ingredients except the pears and the watercress, and process until smooth. Transfer the dressing to a lidded container and chill well in the refrigerator.
Pick over the watercress, discarding any tough stalks, wash thoroughly and pat dry on kitchen towel and then arrange the watercress on four small plates.

Fill the hollow in each pear with some of the dressing and serve immediately.
