RICOTTA SPREAD WITH HONEY TOASTED PINE NUTS image

Yield 1 bowl

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup pine nuts
½ cup orange blossom honey
2 cups good-quality whole milk ricotta
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 Tbs. fresh mint leaves, hand torn
sea salt
freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toss over low heat until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add the honey. Mix well so the nuts get coated evenly and the honey melts. Allow to cool slightly, then add to a large bowl. Add the ricotta, olive oil, mint and salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until the ricotta firms up a little. Serve with grilled bread.
