Red Wine-Poached Pears
Red Wine Poached Pears (Transparent Pears)
🍳 Cook: 1 min
Ingredients
| 4 | Ripe Bosc pears, peeled | |
| 1 cup | 240 ml | Red wine |
| ½ cup | 120 ml | Granulated sugar |
| ¼ cup | 60 ml | Sweet vermouth |
| 1 teaspoon | 5 ml | Salt |
| 3 | 3-inch pieces orange zest | |
| 1 | Vanilla bean, seeds scraped | |
| — | Vanilla ice cream, for serving |
Instructions
- Place all of the ingredients, except for the ice cream, in a vacuum-seal bag and seal shut. Alternatively, place the ingredients in a sealable plastic bag and dip into a large bowl of water to displace the air before sealing shut.
- Preheat a pot of water fitted with a sous-vide immersion circulator to 175° according to the manufacturer's directions. Cook the pears for 1 hour, making sure the bag remains completely submerged. Remove the bag from the pot and take the pears out of the bag.
- Core the pears and slice. Divide between 4 shallow bowls and top with vanilla ice cream. Drizzle with some of the cooking liquid, then serve.
