     Found this one in a cookbook and modified it 
    a bit.  I like to have it with wild rice. This is the vegetarian 
    version of Pork Chops with Pears  |

    Preparation Notes | 
	 
  
	| 1 | 
	Firm, ripe Bosc 
    , Bartlett or  
    Anjou Pear | 
	
    -   Peel, core and cut pear into chunks
 
    -   Cut apricots into chunks
 
    -   In a bowl, put together pears, apricots, raisins, 
    pear nectar, and lemon juice.  Set aside 
 
    -   Combine salt, pepper, curry powder and flour in 
    small bowl and put on plate for coating portabellas, tofu and or veggie 
    balls.
 
    -   Heat oil in large skillet
 
    -   Coat portabellas, tofu, and or veggie balls in flour/curry mixture and place 
    in oil
 
    -   Brown portabellas, tofu, and or veggie balls on both sides and put into 9 x 9 
    baking dish
 
    -  Once portabellas, tofu and or veggie balls are removed from oil, put in onion, 
    and garlic and brown until onions are somewhat transparent.
    
 
    -  Put in the remaining flour mixture from plate and 
    heat stirring constantly.  
 
    -  Add the water, stirring constantly - It will 
    thicken quickly.
 
    -  Add the pear mixture and heat through.
 
    -  Pour the heated pear mixture over the portabellas, 
    tofu and or veggie balls then cover with aluminum foil.
 
    -  Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.  Uncover 
    and continue cooking for 15 minutes or until everything is cooked through.
