What You Need

  • 2 Zavor & Co gluten-free arepas

  4. Spread the whipped ricotta over each arepa.
  5. Spoon the roasted strawberries on top and finish with a few drops of aged balsamic and cracked pepper.

About This Recipe

Whipped ricotta with roasted fruit and a few drops of good balsamic is a modern Italian brunch plate — the syrupy vinegar makes the strawberries taste even more like strawberries.
