Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh ricotta cheese
- 2 tablespoons raw honey
- 2 medium ripe pears
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts (optional)
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 4 slices crusty bread or crackers (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Wash the pears thoroughly and slice them thinly, removing the core and seeds. You can leave the skin on for additional texture and flavor.
In a small bowl, gently toss the pear slices with the lemon juice to prevent browning and enhance their flavor.
Divide the ricotta cheese evenly into two serving bowls or plates, smoothing it into a small mound or spreading it flat.
Drizzle half of the raw honey over each portion of ricotta, ensuring an even distribution for sweetness.
Arrange the pear slices decoratively around or on top of the ricotta in each bowl or plate.
If using walnuts, sprinkle a tablespoon over each dish for added crunch and a nutty flavor.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired, and serve immediately. You can pair this dish with crusty bread or crackers for additional texture and versatility.
