Make sure to place a piece of foil over the top of the pan to help keep flavor and moisture. After 20 minutes, remove the pan from the stove. Carefully remove the pears from the liquid and place them into a proper cooling pan. Pour the poaching liquid over the top. Allow the pears to sit over night in the poaching liquid.
- Mix the yogurt, honey and remaining coriander together to form the filling.
- First, remove a pear from the liquid. Cut the pear down the center from top to bottom. Remove the seeds from the pear with a small spoon. Place the two halves of the pear into a serving plate. Place 1 oz. (approximately 2 Tbsp) of the spiced yogurt mixture on top of the pears.
