This is such a simple and easy way of serving fresh, ripe seasonal strawberries at the end of a relaxed supper party. Everyone can get stuck into their preferred flavour combinations, and can taste each accompaniment. Ricotta is an Italian whey cheese and can be found in most supermarkets. Let the sweet and fragrant taste of Sweet Eve strawberries speak for itself, or enhance it by dipping in this wonderful array of spices and flavours.
Serves 4 / Preparation time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
- 500g fresh Sweet Eve strawberries
- 100g Schwartz black peppercorns
- 100g red peppercorns
- 250g Galbani® Ricotta cheese
- ½ teaspoon of Schwartz ground cinnamon
- 100ml of aged traditional, balsamic
- vinegar from Modena
- Zest of 1 unwaxed lemon
- 100g unrefined soft brown cane sugar
Method
Hull and clean the strawberries, removing the green stem with a teaspoon. Now slice the strawberries in half, and place them in a serving bowl on a tray. Prepare 5 more small bowls, all to be served on the same tray.
Using a pestle and mortar, lightly crush the black peppercorns, and then place them in a small bowl, on the same tray as the strawberries. Lightly crush the red peppercorns, as above, and place them in a separate
bowl, again on the tray. Mix the ricotta in another bowl with the ground cinnamon. Pour the balsamic vinegar in a small bowl. Place the lemon zest in another bowl, and mix in the sugar. Serve the prepared tray to your guests, and they can dip each strawberry into the flavours alternatively.
