How to make Spiced Coconut Rice With Caramelised Pears
-
Heat oven to 180°C
-
Place pear halves, cut side up, on a baking tray and drizzle with maple syrup. Bake for 15 mins until golden and softened, turning very carefully in the middle.
-
Place all of the other ingredients, except the raw sugar, into a saucepan and stir to combine. Bring to the boil and then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 min, stirring regularly.
-
Sprinkle the cut sides of the pears with the raw sugar and then place under a hot grill until the edges caramelise - or use a kitchen blowtorch.
-
Serve the rice, topped with the pears. Add nuts or pepitas if you want crunch.
