This is what we came up with, and it is OMG TASTY.

3 bosc pears, sliced long
1 brown onion, julienned
4 sausages (we used some chicken-and-apple sausages)
1 tsp cardamom (or three seeds ground up in a mortar & pestle)
1/2 tsp turmeric
1 tsp salt
1 T agave nectar
olive oil

Heat olive oil to hotness. Throw in pears, onions, sausages. Sautée on high heat until onions are transparent. Throw in the rest of the ingredients and kill heat to almost nothing and simmer — the longer the better.

The success of this dish means I will now have to try to make a ginger scald…
