Ricotta with Chestnut Honey

Posted in Dessert

Ricotta is not only for pasta dishes.  It also makes an easy dessert or snack with the addition of sweet honey.

This is a favorite dessert of ours.  It is incredibly easy, light and flavorful.  Basically, it is plain Ricotta drizzled with honey.  I recently found this incredible Chestnut Honey at Bi-Rite Market.  The nuttiness of the honey goes incredibly well with the creamy ricotta.

Recipe: Ricotta with Honey

4 oz ricotta

3 tablespoons honey

Put ricotta in a bowl and drizzle with honey.  Serve.  Eat.

The same combination is traditional and very popular in Catalonia (north-east Spain) as “mel i mató”, mató being the local ricotta. You can combine also with marmalades, jams or anything sweet and sticky.
Another kind of combination popular all over Spain is quince paste with cheese, in this case strong and dry cheese, as “membrillo con queso”. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dulce_de_membrillo

I’m trying this for breakfast today.

Curious about new ways to enjoy ricotta cheese.
