INGREDIENTS

400 g soft goat cheese
50 g sugar
100 g hazelnuts, almonds, or cashews
100 g lamb's lettuce
2 pears
1 lime
50 ml olive oil

WHAT ELSE YOU'LL NEED

Silicone baking paper

PREPARATION

1
Bring the sugar to a boil with a tablespoon of water, then cook without stirring until you get a beautiful amber-coloured caramel. At this point, sprinkle in the seeds and immediately pour it onto a spread-out silicone baking paper.
2
Once cooled, crush it in a mortar, but not too finely.
3
Form balls from the goat cheese; it will be easier if you chill it well.
4
Roll the balls in the prepared brittle.
5
For the dressing, squeeze the lime juice, season with salt, then add 50 ml of extra virgin olive oil.
6
Peel the pear, cut it into wedges, and toss with a few drops of lime juice.
7
Serve the bonbons with the washed lamb's lettuce, pear wedges, and dressing.

Tip

After peeling, toss the pear with citrus juice to prevent oxidation and keep it light due to the antioxidant effect of ascorbic acid in citrus fruits. The brittle can be made with any nuts, such as walnuts, hazelnuts, cashews, macadamia nuts, or a mixture of these.
