Sautéed Nashi In Crispy Cups

 


Ingredients:
Cups
4 egg roll wrappers
1 teaspoon sugar
Cream Filling
1/4 cup lowfat vanilla yogurt
1 teaspoon chopped crystallized ginger
Sautéed Nashi Filling
3 (1-1/2 pound) asian pears or nashi, 
   peeled, cored and cut into twelfths
1/16 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon chopped crystallized ginger
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon light olive oil with a dash of 
   sesame oil
Garnish
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
 

Instructions:
To make cups:
Preheat oven to 350 degree's. Lay the egg roll wrappers on the work surface and spray with olive oil cooking spray. Sprinkle with the sugar. Tuck each wrapper into a large cup muffin tin and bake for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven, take the partially baked wrappers out of the muffin cups, turn the muffin tin over and place the partially baked wrappers over the back of the muffin cups. Bake for 3 minutes or until evenly brown and crisp. Set aside to cool.
To make cream filling:
Mix the yogurt and ginger together in a small bowl and set aside.
For the sautéed nashi filling:
Toss the nashi slices, ground ginger, sugar, crystallized ginger and lemon juice together to coat the slices. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Fry the nashi, stirring and shaking pan, until they are tender and the sugar has caramelized, about 10 minutes.
To serve, spoon 1 tablespoon of the yogurt cream into each of the cups. Fill with the sautéed nashi and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
