Rinse the rice and place it in a medium-sized saucepan along with 2 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of salt. Heat the mixture over high heat until it reaches boiling, then lower the heat to medium-low. Cover the saucepan with a lid and let it cook for 20 minutes, until the water has been completely absorbed.
Slice the pears into thin slices and place them in a separate small dish.
In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced pears and sauté until they become slightly tender, approximately for 5 minutes. Mix in the brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract, continue cooking until the sugar has dissolved and the pears are evenly coated with the mixture.
After removing the pan from the heat, mix the pear mixture into the cooked rice, making sure everything is well combined. Serve the rice hot and finish with a sprinkle of chopped walnuts or roasted pear slices. Enjoy your delicious dish!

To pick the best pears, you need to look for ripe ones. To determine if a pear is ripe, you can gently press the area near the stem end with your thumb. If the pear gives slightly to the pressure, it is ripe. If it feels hard, it means it is not yet ready to be eaten. A ripe pear should have a sweet and fruity aroma. If you cannot detect any scent, it means the pear is not yet ripe.
