I made this post especially for my friend Manu, she lives in Milano, Italy, she hosting and event always enjoy,
Is the second SWAP she hosted.She choose a partner and you have to send your partner a secret ingredient and she/he will do the same.
Once you'll get the ingredient you have to make a recipe using the secret ingredient.
This year my partner is Lola from Spain, Lola has an amazing blog and she sent me cardamom and I made this recipe of Poached pears with cardamom and saffon.
Source: Bon appetit
Ingredients
(4 servings)
2 teaspoons ground cardamom
or 1 tablespoon cardamom pods
2 cups dry white wine
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp saffron threads (or ground saffron)
pinch of salt
4 firms pears peeled stems intact
whipped cream to serve
Method
First, If you use cardamom pods gently crush with a rolling pin to slightly crack open pods without releasing seeds.
Combine cardamom, wine, sugar,lemon juice, saffron and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Bring to a simmer. Add pears add water if needed to completely submerge pears. Cover with lid slightly ajar and simmer, turning occasionally, until pears are tender but not mushy, about 20 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer pears to a plate. Increase heat and boil poaching liquid until reduced to 1 cup, 10-15 minutes.
Spoon some of syrup over cold or room temperature pears. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream, pass remaining syrup.

Peras con azafrán y caradamomo
Esta es la segunda vez que participo en el Evento SWAP de Manu del blog cooking manu, que ella organiza. Es muy entretenido porque ella organiza personas de distintos países
que den intercambiar un ingrediente y con ese hacer una receta.
A mi me ha tocado Lola de España del blog Salados y postres, ya le mandé el ingrediente y ella me ha mandado cardamomo (adoro el cardamomo) y así he hecho esta receta de peras al cardamomo que son muy buenas.
Ingredientes
(4 porciones o peras)
2 cucharaditas de cardamomo molidos
o 1 cucharada de semillas de cardamomo
2 tazas de vino blanco
3/4 taza de azúcar
1 1/2 cucharada de jugo de limón
1/4 cucharadita de azafran
pizca de sal
4 peras firmes peladas con el palito incluido
crema batida para acompañar
Preparación
Si se usan semillas de cardamomo suavemente molerlas con el rodillo, sin perder las semillas. Reservar.
Combinar en una olla el cardamomo (molido o en semillas)
vino blanco, azúcar, jugo de limón, azafrán, y sal en una olla
mediana a fuego medio, revolver siempre hasta que el azúcar se disuelva.
Hervir por un rato. Agregar las peras y agregar agua si es necesario. para que las peras queden cubiertas.
Tapar semi abierto y hervir.
Darlas vuelta hasta que las peras estén tiernas pero no pasadas, cerca de 20 minutos.
Usando un cucharon transferir las peras con cuidado a un plato grande.
Hervir un poco más el líquido para que se reduzca (unos 10 a 15 minutos)
Servir las peras a temperatura normal con un poco del jarabe y una porción de crema batida.
