Goat cheese with salmon, pear and strawberry
This dish is featured in the magazine 'Chef's Special' and was created by Mike Seghers, Culinary Advisor at HANOS Den Haag-Delft."I'm a fan of young goat cheese. When I tasted the pajerin, I immediately thought: I'm going to make something beautiful with this! It's a lovely, young, slightly grassy goat cheese. In my recipe, I therefore left it 'pure nature'.
