Ricotta Dip
Serves 8
Utensils: A small food processor. If you don’t have one, a handheld mixer will do.
Recipe: Charmaine Landicho Baechle
I like to add a hint of good olive oil and serve with either toasted, sliced baguette, country bread, or for a healthier option, vegetables such as baby carrots, cucumber sticks, or endive leaves (my favorite).
15 oz ricotta
1 tbsp honey
1/2 lemon grated lemon zest
1 small garlic clove finely minced
Method
Combine ricotta, half of the lemon zest, minced garlic, and half of the honey, and buzz away. It should take less than a minute. The consistency should be slightly fluffy.
Pour in a pretty serving bowl, sprinkle the remaining lemon zest, drizzle with honey, and top off with a pinch of Maldon salt or any salt in your pantry. I like to add a hint of good olive oil and serve with either toasted, sliced baguette, country bread, or for a healthier option, vegetables such as baby carrots, cucumber sticks, or endive leaves (my favorite).
