From the book "Olives and Oranges" page 82...(making use of those beautiful pears we just received for Christmas!):
12 oz Pecorino Toscano cheese
4 ripe pears, cored and cut into eighths
1 cup packed fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon Vin Santo vinegar or other high-quality mild white wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon fleur de sel or other medium-coarse sea salt or more to-taste
Coarse ground black pepper
Using the tip of a sharp paring knife, break cheese into irregular chunks about 1/2 inch in size.
Place cheese, pear slices, basil leaves, oil, vinegar and salt in a large bowl and toss to combine. Season with pepper and more salt if needed. Serve at once. (4 servings)
So easy and so delicious!
