Method

1. Peel and grate the ginger. In a small pan, stir together the cold skimmed milk, ginger, agar agar and stevia.
2. Bring to the boil over medium heat and boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the agar has completely dissolved.
3. Take off the heat and whisk in the quark until smooth; for a finer panna cotta, strain it to remove the ginger fibres.
4. Pour into a mould rinsed with cold water, let it cool and chill for 2 hours, until firm.
5. Before serving, peel and dice the pear and cook it in a pan with a tablespoon of water over medium heat for 5 minutes, until soft. Turn out the panna cotta and top it with the pear.
