Ingredients

  • 250 g ricotta
  • 1 tsp garlic granules
  • 1/2 tsp flakey salt
  • 1/2 tsp lemon zest
  • Honey to drizzle
  • Chilli flakes to top
  • Fresh mint to garnish

Instructions

  • In a blender, add the ricotta, garlic, salt, lemon zest and blend until smooth and airy. Otherwise, use a whisk and whisk for a few minutes. If needed, add a drizzle of olive oil to loosen it.
  • Smooth onto a plate and use the back of a spoon to make a few indents into the dip. Top with honey, chilli flakes and mint.

Notes

If you like, you can use roasted garlic here instead. With their skins on, add a few garlic cloves to a piece of foil. Season with salt, drizzle generously with oil and wrap into a little parcel. Roast at 180c for 30 mins or so, until totally soft. Then squeeze into the ricotta before blending up.
