Ingredients
- 150 g Couscous ¾ Cup
- 175 ml Boiling Water ¾ Cup
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 2 Small Camembert Cheeses 150g Each
- 2 tablespoon Flour
- 1 Large Egg
For the Pears:
- 1 Pear
- 2 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 3 tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
- 2 tablespoon Honey
Instructions
- Place the couscous in a bowl with the salt and pour over the boiling water, cover with cling film and let it sit for 10 minutes. Then transfer the couscous to a baking sheet, separating the grains well, and allow them to cool completely.
- Add the olive oil, balsamic vinegar and honey to a 30cm or 12" nonstick frying pan over a low-medium heat and mix to form a light syrup.
- Peel the pear and then cut it in half, remove the core and the base, then slice each half into 6 pieces. Add the pear slices to the balsamic and honey mix, and allow to slowly caramelise for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Place the flour on a plate.
- Beat the eggs in a wide-based bowl.
- Prepare the cheeses by dipping them into flour, then into the egg and then into the couscous. Move to the fridge and allow them to cool.
- 5 minutes before the pears are ready, heat oil in a deep fat fryer or deep-sided pan to 170ºC or 340ºF.
- Fry the cheeses for 5 minutes, spooning over oil if required and then serve topped with the pears.
