Step by Step guide

Step 1

Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet, frying the puff pastry disc over high heat on both sides until golden brown.

Step 2

Sprinkle the pastry with powdered sugar and place it in a preheated oven at 428°F for 3–4 minutes.

Step 3

Prepare the caramel by adding 30 g of sugar, a pinch of cloves, star anise, a cinnamon stick, and vanilla to a heated dish. Stir occasionally until a homogeneous mixture is achieved.

Step 4

Peel the pear and apple, removing the skin and core, and cut them into equal wedges.

Step 5

Place the fruits in the skillet with the caramel, add 1 tablespoon of butter, raisins, and sauté over high heat, stirring, until the fruits start to release their juice.

Step 6

Add 2 tablespoons of cherries, a pinch of ginger, lemon zest, a little salt (less than a pinch), and pepper. Stir and pour in 50 ml of rum. Remove from heat and place in a preheated oven at 428°F for 5–6 minutes.

Step 7

Transfer the pastry disc to a plate, top with the caramelized fruits. Garnish with herbs, sprinkle with lemon zest, and drizzle with a little raspberry syrup and balsamic vinegar.
