3) Add the pear halves and any remaining lemon juice, cover and simmer very gently for 15-20 minutes.
4) Remove the pears and set to one side to drain, discard the lemon rind, bring the poaching liquid to the boil and reduce to 150ml.
5) Allow to cool slightly and add in the amaretto.
6) Arrange the pears on a grill pan, mix together the amaretti biscuits, marzipan and parmesan and pile into the core hollows. Grill under a hot grill until golden. Serve the pears in a pool of syrup.
