How to make pear tartare with pecorino and black pepper
If you’re looking for something a little different to add to your menu, you should definitely try pear tartare. This dish is fresh, flavorful, and surprisingly easy to prepare. Plus, it’s perfect for any occasion – from elegant dinner parties to casual get-togethers with friends. So why not give it a try? Here’s how to make it:
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add ½ tablespoon of butter and 2 tablespoons of sliced almonds. Cook, stirring constantly until toasted, approximately 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat to cool.
Step 2
Peel and dice 1 Bosc pear into ¼” cubes and place into a mixing bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of honey and stir to combine.
Step 3
Transfer pear to a fine mesh strainer placed over a bowl and set in the refrigerator to drain the liquid, approximately 10 minutes.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the sliced almonds with 3 tablespoons of mascarpone.
Step 5
Using a 2.5” ring mold, spread a layer of the mascarpone mixture on the bottom, about ½ inch high.
Note: If you don’t have a ring mold, you can cut the top and bottom off of an emptied and cleaned canned good.
Step 6
Remove the diced pear mixture from the refrigerator and tightly pack the mixture inside the ring mold on top of the almond mascarpone mixture.
Step 7
Once formed, slowly remove your ring mold.
Step 8
Garnish with finely grated pecorino cheese and freshly ground black pepper. Serve with your favorite crostini and enjoy.
