green olives with whipped ricotta🫒 this limited cooking appetizer takes minutes to whip up (literally) and pairs perfectly with a glass of wine or spritz! for four servings: - 15 oz ricotta cheese - 1/2 cup EVOO - 2 cloves garlic, minced - 1 tbs red pepper flakes - 1/2 cup parsley, roughly chopped - 2 tsp salt - 1 tbs lemon zest and juice - one jar of green olives, pitted - handful of pistachios Add ricotta to a food processor and whip until smooth. You can add a touch of olive oil if you need to. Add EVOO, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes to a pan on medium low heat. Stir until garlic is fragrant and added chopped parsley. Turn off the heat and set aside. In a dish, spread whipped ricotta evenly and add the green olives. Take the pan and pour the olive oil/parsley mix on top and garnish with lemon zest and pistachios. Finish with a little more salt and a squeeze of lemon juice before serving. - Brooke xx
