Add it to your shopping list and keep looking. The list adds the quantities up across everything you pick.

Method

  1. Quarter and core the pear and cut each quarter into two or three slices.

  2. Toast the walnuts in a dry pan for three minutes over a medium heat, until they smell roasted, and salt them lightly.

  3. Break the chocolate into squares and arrange the three things on a plate. Eat a slice of pear with a piece of chocolate and a walnut together.

Worth knowing

  • The pear is a third of the calories and nearly all the carbohydrate. The walnuts and chocolate share the fat between them.
  • Toasting the walnuts is a small step that matters. Raw walnuts are tannic and bitter next to chocolate; toasted ones are not.
