Ricotta crostini with roasted fennel
Roast
Roasting
When I think about creating a recipe with a particular ingredient, I get inspiration from the origin of the ingredient. So for ricotta, I thought of classic Italian ingredients that would compliment, without overwhelming, the cheese. Here I used a peppered salami and roasted fennel. The savory salami together with the sweet roasted fennel play enhance each other and don't overpower the ricotta. To balance out the whole dish, I used a dash of aged sherry vinegar on the fennel. Just for fun, I topped the crostini with a fried sage leaf. All of the flavors relate to one another and topped on a crispy crostini, the textures work beautifully.
