Oven Roasted Tandoori Winter Nelis Pears with Star Anise and Honey Yoghurt
by David Bitton
Directions
1. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C.
2. In a large ceramic bowl, place the tandoori paste and coconut oil and mix well.
3. Prick the pear halves all over using a skewer or the tip of a sharp knife and place them into the bowl with the tandoori mixture. Coat the pears well. Cover and allow to 'marinate' for 2 hours or overnight.
4. Remove the pears from the bowl and place onto a flat baking tray lined with baking paper. Place one star anise into the centre of each pear half.
5. Place into the pre heated oven for 20 - 25 minutes or until just soft. Turn the heat up to 200°C and cook for a further 5 minutes or until slightly golden and aromatic. Remove and allow to cool slightly.
6. Serve warm onto 4 large plates topped with lots of European style yoghurt and drizzled with honey.

It's fun and challenging to cook with what's available and the produce is so much fresher than anywhere else. Our family loves them!
