Stuffed pears
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Once at a restaurant, I ordered a salad with pears. I thought they would simply be cut into small pieces and mixed with other vegetables. But no! Next to the greens lay an appetizing stuffed pear! I really liked the idea of such a salad addition, and I often use it, especially during holidays! You can also eat these pears separately as a dessert! Stuffed pears are a versatile dish. Serve chilled.
