  • Place fish on an oiled grill rack, skin side down. Grill, covered, over medium heat (or broil 6 in. from heat) until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 6-8 minutes.
  • In a large skillet, bring water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add Brussels sprouts, pepper flakes and, if desired, remaining salt. Cook, covered, until tender, 5-7 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic; cook until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Roasted Pears in Ginger Syrup

Recipe by Thomas Pagot at Full of Plants

Ingredients:

  • 3 medium pears
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar (or brown or cane sugar)
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
  • inch fresh ginger minced

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 °F (200°F).
  2. Peel and halve the pears. Remove the core and place them cut-side down in a large baking dish.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the maple syrup, coconut sugar, water, cornstarch, and minced ginger. Pour the syrup over the pears into the baking dish.
  4. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the pears are soft and cooked. Remove from the oven, flip the pears and place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes or until slightly caramelized.
  5. Serve warm or cold, and top with crushed peanuts and a dollop of coconut cream or vanilla ice cream. Baked pears will keep for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.

Cook’s Notes: Depending on the type and size of the pears, you may have to adjust the baking time. Test the doneness with a thin knife. The pears should be perfectly soft but not mushy.
