The Ideas Kitchen Mango Pear And Ginger Crumble

So now, our next dish is a lovely crumble - pears, mangoes, muscavado sugar, a little bit of ginger and a touch of lime in it. So, what is it all about? Crumble, we like it after we eat because we can make it dessert with fruit of the season obviously which is really nice. And the fact that we're doing the crumble with the fingers, I think there's always this thing about holding and mixing.

Anyway, we've got the pear. The pear here, they've just been cut. A drop of lemon, I'm going to put in it quickly so they don't become black too much which is the air that does that oxidation a little bit so a little bit.

Okay, we're going to put in some sugar and a little bit of water. So, the mix is ready. Now, you're going to cook in your Panasonic microwave oven, high heat, 5 minutes.

So, you cover so you keep the steam in so you can chew the food because that's what the idea is for. Okay, so while that is cooking, now we can make the crumble mix. Obviously, butter, we need, sugar and flour for the start.

After, we're going to finish with another couple of ingredients so butter which is a little bit soft pre-cut already, muscavado sugar. I like this sugar because it's completely untreated and natural and give a caramelized flavour to the crumble which is very nice. So, we mix together with the hand, not thinking about the fact that you make your hands dirty, or you're just touching some textures, very nice.

Okay, and now, we're going to mix the flour on it. So, we're nearly there. so, we've got a lovely kind of brown, almost caramel colour and that's why we call it crumble when it gets to crumble.

That's what it is. So, that's done already. That's crumbly, nice, beautiful, crumbled and what we can add to it is a little bit of hazelnut.

I like hazelnut in crumble and what I like as well is oats. It's something that goes very well wth crumble and the crunch is so different when it's ready. It's really nice and obviously, hazelnuts there, and we carry on mixing all of it together.

Just give it a really nice texture and that's how it should look like, beautiful nice crumble. So, 5 minutes' passed, remove the plate and you can grab the container, very important otherwise you burn yourself. So, that's what we wanted to achieve which is perfect.

So, we stewed the pear so obviously there's really a lot of liquid as normal. So, you pass the excess on the liquid, there, and you got the perfect colour you need for the pear obviously with the help of the lemon in it. Keep that liquor, you can reduce it, make almost a syrup and you drizzle it on the top of your crumble when it's finished.

And believe me, you'll have a fantastic flavour obviously because it's a dark sugar, it's caramelized and it's lovely. So now we've got the pear ready, we need to fall in all the mango we've got in here which has been quite dry, not overripe but a good flavour, nice and ripe, and the stem ginger to give this small kick we need just for the mix and it looks a little bit like exotic as well at the same time because of the mangoes and ginger. We don't need to mix too much.

It's just to give a little bit the ginger flavour and everything. With that ready, goes in the dish here, okay. So, you pour everything here.

Look at that, it's beautiful. The smell is already tremendous. Okay, so you flatten a little bit all the mix in here, and the crumble mix on the top which we have done earlier.

Look how beautiful they are together. Just flatten the whole out. So, now it's time to cook it, so combination of microwave and convection, 15 to 20 minutes on the tray in here and that's it.

Off we go. .
