Ricotta Hazelnut Spread With Toast Recipes

RICOTTA TOASTS WITH WALNUT DUKKAH, OLIVE OIL AND HONEY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare a grill or cast-iron grill pan for medium-high heat.
• Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until lightly browned, about 8 minutes.
• Brush the bread all over with oil. Grill, turning, until lightly charred, about 5 minutes. (Alternatively, toast the bread in a toaster or under the broiler.)
• Meanwhile, toast the coriander, cumin and fennel seeds in a small skillet over medium heat, shaking the pan frequently, until very fragrant, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Transfer the spices to a food processor and process until finely crushed. Add the walnuts and pulse until the nuts are finely ground. Add the toasted sesame seeds and paprika; pulse just to mix. Season the dukkah with salt.
• Spread the ricotta on the toasts and drizzle with oil and honey. Sprinkle generously with the dukkah and serve.

CROSTINI WITH SWEET RICOTTA, HONEY AND TOASTED HAZELNUTS

Steps:

• Preheat a broiler, oven or grill to medium-high heat .
• Toast the bread until lightly golden brown on both sides-the bread should be crisp but still tender on the inside, not brittle. Dollop some ricotta on each slice of toast. Drizzle a little honey over all, and then zest the orange over the tops. Scatter the hazelnuts on top, put a wedge of fruit on each toast and finish with another drizzle of honey.
