Autumn Fruits with Quark, Honey and Walnuts

This recipe celebrates the chromatic and flavor transition of autumn. The neutral creaminess of the cottage cheese is the perfect canvas for the juiciness of the pear, the texture of the fig, and the crunch of the walnuts. To bring out the fruit's natural sugars and the honey without adding sodium, we will use a pinch of Bonsalt, a cooking secret for enhancing sweet contrasts.

Technical Sheet

• Estimated time: 10 minutes

• Difficulty: ⭐

• Servings: 2 people

Ingredients

• 1 pear (Conference or Roma type)

• 4 ripe figs

• 1 slice of roasted pumpkin (optional, for an extra touch of color)

• 200g of cottage cheese (or high-quality ricotta)

• 30g of shelled walnuts

• 2 tablespoons of pure flower honey

• Seasoning: A pinch of Bonsalt and ground cinnamon.

Professional Step-by-Step Preparation

1. Fruit preparation: Wash the fruit well. Slice the pear thinly (you can leave the skin on for extra fiber) and quarter the figs. If you decide to use roasted pumpkin, cut it into small cubes.

2. Base preparation: In a small bowl, lightly beat the cottage cheese with a fork until it has a creamier consistency.

3. The master touch: Add a tiny pinch of Bonsalt to the cottage cheese. This small technical detail breaks up the monotony of the dairy and makes the flavor much deeper and more vibrant when it comes into contact with the honey.

4. Plating: On two plates or individual bowls, arrange a generous base of cottage cheese. Place the pear slices, figs, and pumpkin cubes on top in an harmonious way.

5. Texture and aroma: Scatter the chopped walnuts over the top with your hands to preserve their rustic texture. Sprinkle a little ground cinnamon.

6. Finishing: Drizzle the honey over the whole dish just before serving so it keeps its shine and is not completely absorbed into the cheese.
