Directions
Pears with Chocolate Sauce and Cracked Black Pepper,I got this out of a Spanish cooking magazine called “Cocina Facil” while there over Christmas. What an elegant dish to serve guests! And you wouldn’t believe how easy it is…,OOOOHHH!!!!! This was soooo good!! I doubled the syrup & pears & had enough chocolate sauce. I also used Belle de Brillet – FANTASTIC pear brandy. The pepper is subtle but fabulous! We absolutely loved ths dessert which was mostly made ahead & perfect for WOWing guests! Made for Port & Pimenton: Tag and Plan a Tapas Party Menu CONTEST.
