For 1 serving

• Polenta (cornmeal)45 g
• Rice milk220 ml
• Pear1
• Pumpkin seeds15 g
• Cinnamonto taste
• Lemon zest2 g

In season: September – January

Method

1. Wash the lemon, peel off strips of zest with a vegetable peeler, avoiding the white pith, and put them in a small pan with the rice drink; bring to the boil over a medium heat.
2. Meanwhile wash and core the pear and cut it into roughly 1 cm cubes.
3. When the rice drink boils, lift out the lemon zest and pour in the polenta in a thin stream, whisking to prevent lumps; lower to a low heat and cook for 8 minutes, stirring often, until thick and soft.
4. Meanwhile put the pear in a small frying pan with the cinnamon and a splash of water and warm it over a medium heat for 4 minutes, until soft but still holding its shape.
5. Pour the polenta into a bowl, spoon the pear and its juices on top and finish with the pumpkin seeds.
