When I gave my dad a bite of this, he decided that he needed to pour a glass of wine to fully enjoy it. That's when I know it's good, because my dad, whom I consider a picky eater, made his way up the stairs for just three pieces of "amuse-bouche"
I made a pear version and a mango version. The pear one was crunchy, with a refreshing burst of juice. The mango had a more pronounced sweetness and so it gave more of a contrast when bitten into.
It's like having all your food groups in one bite, it's awesome:
- Vegetables: basil
- Fruit: mango or pear
- Meat: prosciutto
- Dairy: blue cheese
Finish with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and a crack of pepper, and you're good to go grab a glass of red with your dad in the kitchen.
