Almond Ricotta
Ingredients
ingredients for 2 ricottas
200 gr. almonds (peeled)
10 gr. whole marine salt
The juice of 1 lemon
water
pink pepper
aromatic herbs: chives, thyme, marjoram etc.
optional flaked nutritional yeast and lemon zest
Method
Soak the almonds for at least 8 hours
Drain well and place in a mixer with water (the water must be at least 1,5cm more than the volume of the almonds)
Now add the salt and lemon juice and cook in a pan
When it starts to boil, remove from the cooker and, if you like, add the nutritional yeast. Mix.
Pour into a sieve with a thin white cloth (lint/gauze) and leave to strain the fridge.
When the ricotta is ready you can season as preferred (I suggest aromatic herbs, pink pepper, lemon zest and oil). Can also be used for stuffed pasta and for desserts!
