Ingredients Method

Ingredients

1 (250g) tub ricotta
2½ tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 heaped tbsp marmalade
1 handful shelled pistachios
1 handful sage leaves
1 (120g) pack crackers, to serve
1 (300g) bag radicchio, leaves separated, to serve

Method

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4. Tip the ricotta out of its tub into the centre of a small baking dish (so its biggest surface is on the bottom); ease it out with a knife if needed. Or you can use a piece of foil instead of a dish, scrunching up the edges to make a lipped plate to sit on a baking tray.

Step 2

Drizzle the ricotta with ½ tsp oil and top with the marmalade. Bake for 25 mins.

Step 3

Meanwhile, toast the pistachios in a dry pan until golden; allow to cool, then chop and set aside. Fry the sage leaves in the remaining oil until crisp. Drain on kitchen towel, taking care not to break them.

Step 4

Use a fish slice to transfer the baked ricotta to a serving dish; top with the nuts and sage. Serve straight away with the crackers and radicchio leaves. Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container.
