At the halt of April, nosotros hosted the 4th gathering of Ottolenghi admirers inward our home. Without a bicycle ride constraining our cooking choice, Michael in addition to I committed to preparing the extravagant mushroom in addition to cheese lasagne from Plenty equally the autumnal centrepiece. But of course of report I couldn't exit dessert alone, flicking through Plenty More in addition to jotting downward elementary rhubarb in addition to quince options on the halt of the shopping list.
The quinces won out inward the end. You in all probability already know how to poach them, in addition to I've done it before too. The vanilla, orangish in addition to star anise inward the poaching liquid hither aren't anything surprising, but using pomegranate juice instead of H2O is a real Ottolenghi tweak. It lends a deep crimson to the dish where the quinces can't - they're poached for only twenty minutes in addition to retain the translucent colouring stuff of a pear on the inside.
On their own, the quinces are rich, velvety, vegan in addition to gluten-free. Ottolenghi serves them amongst clotted cream in addition to pomegranate seeds, in addition to ours were embellished farther amongst cocoa-streaked meringues made past times our invitee Matt. He in addition to I had unwittingly teamed to exercise some rather fancy deconstructed pavlovas.
Pomegranate poached quinces
(very slightly adapted from a recipe inward Yotam Ottolenghi's Plenty More)
two large quinces
800mL pomegranate juice
70g caster sugar
1 vanilla pod
1 orange
two star anise
120g double cream
seeds from 1/2 pomegranate
Peel the quinces in addition to acre them into quarters. Cut away the cores in addition to drib dead along one-half of them. Slice the quince flesh into wedges in addition to identify them inward a real large saucepan. Wrap the reserved cores inward a muslin stuff or like (I used a stimulate clean Chux wipe) in addition to packet them upwardly firmly, adding them to the pot. Pour over the pomegranate juice in addition to sprinkle over the sugar. Slice the vanilla pod lengthways, scrape the seeds into the pot in addition to drib the pods inward too. Grate the rind of the orangish into the pot, hence juice the orangish in addition to pour the liquid in. Drop inward the star anise. Bring it all to the boil, comprehend the pot in addition to trim back it to a gentle simmer for roughly twenty minutes, until the quince is soft. When the quince is ready, role a slotted spoon to remember the wedges. With the pot uncovered, simmer the syrup for a farther twenty minutes to trim back in addition to thicken it.
When it's fourth dimension to serve the quinces, take away the centre bundle, vanilla pods in addition to star anise from the pot. Place the quince wedges dorsum inward the syrup in addition to gently warm them. Spoon the quinces into private serving dishes, dollop on some cream in addition to sprinkle over the pomegranate seeds.
