Fuyu Persimmons

Fuyu Persimmons

Fuyu Persimmons are in abundance right now at the markets in Northern California. They should be used and celebrated! Below is a very easy appetizer to serve as a first course or as part of an hors d’oeuvre party. If you want to make it a bit more salad like, add some baby greens like arugula or frisee and cut the persimmon into thinner wedges.

 

Fuyu Persimmons with Passion Fruit Vinegar, Pepper Infused Sea Salt and Parmesan

3 fuyu persimmons

4 T. passion fruit vinegar

3 t. pepper infused sea salt (or ¼ t. cayenne pepper mixed with salt)

1 oz. Parmesano Reggiano

 

Peel persimmon and cut in half. Remove any seeds or core. Cut each half in half again so each persimmon is in a total of four pieces. Place a piece of persimmon on the end of a fork placed on a small appetizer/salad plate. Drizzle each fork of fruit with vinegar and then dust with salt. Using a vegetable peeler, top each piece of fruit with a shaving of parmesan cheese.

 

Makes 12 appetizers
