It may sound bizarre to add black pepper to strawberries, but it's a lovely pairing. My family has a long history of tossing macerated strawberries with a few drops of balsamic vinegar and several grinds of black pepper before using them to top ice cream.
Ingredients
- baguette slices
- ricotta
- black pepper
- sliced strawberries
- honey (optional)
Instructions
- Either toast the baguette whole and then slice it hot, or slice it first and toast the slices like crostini.
- Spread the slices with ricotta. Grind a little black pepper.
- Arrange slices of strawberries on top.
- A drizzle of honey is optional, depending on the sweetness of your fruit.
