METHOD
1
Slice pears lengthways and remove cores and squeeze with lemon juice so that they don’t oxidise and place around the ricotta, then pour a full flavoured, rich honey over the top and serve.
Maggie's Tip: This requires a really great honey; think natural honey which is more savoury than sweet. Mallee or Heatherwood honey would be great!
Note: Buy the best freshest ricotta you can find. Easy to expand this recipe by buying a large round cake of ricotta to feed more people. Simply multiply other ingredients to suit the weight of the whole ricotta. It looks wonderful on a large round plate.
Maggie's Kitchen Notes:
All my recipes are cooked with a fan forced (convection) oven, increase by 20°C for conventional. My recipes use 20ml tablespoons and 5ml teaspoons, look carefully at your measuring spoons as American spoons are often on sale and they are a smaller measure. All produce are medium sized and all eggs are from an extra large carton (700g).
