Cook time- 10mins. Makes 10.
I've moved recently, and Its been hard finding local farms and farmers without spending a lot to do so. We try to prioritise using local produce in an cost-accessable, and yummy way to minimize our environmental impact and to support local growers. Its also just fun to eat seasonally! It keeps food always feeling new and interesting and developing recipies is a great thing to share with friends! We've recently had great success!! We picked up a mysterious stone-fruit that did not quite seem to be an apricot, loquat, or plum, which is why I'm rather vague in the title. I'm fairly certain what we used is a pluot, a 50/50 mix between a plum and apricot. I reccomend seeing whats growing near you!! You might be suprised! This recipe is more of a use-suggestion and pretty open ended, so I think whatever is near you this season will be yummy. This recipe is PERFECT for a quick snack or lunch or breakfast, yet fancy and interesting enough to be served at a dinner party!
Ingredienceeeeee-
- Local fruit, sliced in an apealing way
- 1 cup (or more) of grated parmesan
- Riccota, or marscapone
- Salt
- Pepper
- Olive Oil
- Honey
- Fresh Basil
- Preheat oven to 360, grate parmesan and arrainge into chip shapes on a baking sheet. Bake for 8 mins and let sit untill cooled.
- Spread Ricotta on cooled parmesan just slightly more liberally than you would cream cheese on a bagel. Too much makes it too creamy, too little leaves cream to be desired. You can play around with this.
- Add your fruit, and top with a liberal amount of freshly ground black pepper, salt, drizzle with honey and olive oil, and garnish with basil.
- Enjoy!
NOTE: Get creative!!! I plan on experimenting with zataar, balsamic vinegar, and more!
