A very simple and delicious dip that is prepared in a flash. Excellent on a sturdy cracker or smeared onto slices of baguette.
250g Il Casaro ricotta
1 jar Farro Cerignola green olives
2 Tbsp olive oil
Zest of 1 lemon and juice of ½
2 Tbsp toasted slivered almonds
Mix the ricotta with 2-3 tablespoons of the olive brine until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Roughly smash the olives with the blade of a large knife and remove the stones. Mix the olives with the olive oil, lemon zest, and the juice of half the lemon.
Put the ricotta into a serving bowl, scatter with the olive mix, and sprinkle with the almonds. Serve with crackers.
