A FEW SAVORY WAYS TO USE ASIAN PEARS
If you thought all of our recipes would be for desserts, you're in for a surprise! It turns out pears are the star ingredient in several decadent, savory dishes. Try one of these:
Salad – We like to use arugula and feta cheese in ours.
Warmed Brie Cheese Appetizer – Top some pear slices with the cheese, then drizzle with Shelf Cooking's easy balsamic glaze.
Pizza Topping – Add some caramelized onions and feta cheese for good measure.
Grilled Cheese Sandwich – Add some pear slices and arugula for a fancier take on a childhood classic.
Crostinis – We found this EASY crostini recipe from Camille Styles, and we're obsessed.
Pear Salsa – Have you tried our fruit salsa recipe from Shelf Cooking? Toss some pears into the mix!
Slice and Eat on Toast – Avocado toast better watch its back. #JustSaying
Asain Pear Slaw – Toss your average slaw with some shredded pear and throw in some sunflower seeds and teriyaki sauce.
Bread Mix-In – Add some pear shreds to your next batch of zucchini or banana bread.
Chutney – Make a chutney to top your meat. One of our Freebs shared this pear chutney recipe from All Recipes!
Glazed Chicken Thighs – Someone shared this Asian pear marinade from All Recipes with us, and let's just say we're in love.
Raise your hand if you were today years old when you learned that Chutney was a real word.
