Ingredients:
       Bosc pears are strong-flavored and hold their
shape when cooked, making them well suited for
this savory side dish. It's a terrific
accompaniment for a glazed ham or grilled
sausage or most any roasted meat or poultry.

Ingredients:
•        1 large red onion
•        3 ripe Bosc pears
•        3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil  divided
•        1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
•        1/4 teaspoon sea salt
•        Freshly ground pepper, to taste
•        1 cup coarse dry breadcrumbs, preferably
whole-wheat  
•        1/3 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

Preparation:

1.        Fill a large bowl three-quarters full with
water; add a handful of ice cubes. Cut onion into
16 wedges, place in a strainer and lower into the
water. Let stand for 20 minutes.

2.        Preheat oven to 400°F.

3.        Halve and core each pear; cut each half into
6 slices. Drain the onion wedges well and place
them in a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish along
with the pear slices, 1 tablespoon oil, thyme, salt
and a grinding of pepper; toss to combine. Cover
with foil.

4.        Roast for 30 minutes, stirring twice.

5.        Meanwhile, combine breadcrumbs and
cheese in a small bowl. Drizzle with the remaining
2 tablespoons oil; stir to combine. Remove the
pan from the oven, sprinkle the crumb mixture
evenly over the gratin, return to the oven and
roast until the breadcrumbs are well browned, 20
to 30 minutes more. Let cool for 10 minutes
before serving.
Tips & Notes:
•        Note: We like to use the Ian's brand of
coarse dry breadcrumbs, labeled "Panko
breadcrumbs." Find them in the natural-foods
section of large supermarkets.
•        To make your own breadcrumbs: Trim
crusts from firm sandwich bread. Tear the bread
into pieces and process in a food processor until
coarse crumbs form. One slice makes about 1/3
cup. Spread the breadcrumbs onto a baking sheet
and bake in a 250°F oven until dry and crispy,
about 15 minutes.
