Hot Honey Loaded Toast
Ingredients
For the lemon and garlic ricotta:
125g ricotta cheese
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp paprika
salt and pepper to taste
For the grilled peaches:
1 small peach, pitted and sliced
Olive oil
For the caramelized walnuts:
30g walnuts, roughly chopped
1 tbsp hot honey (or 1 tbsp honey and a pinch of chilli flakes)
pinch of salt
Toast toppers:
1 slice of sourdough
2 slices of prosciutto
store-bought grilled peppers
hot honey
fresh basil leaves
pickled red chillies
To serve:
I just add sliced fresh chillies to lemon juice and salt for 10 mins before serving
Method
Prepare the lemon and garlic ricotta Mix the ricotta ingredients in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
Grill the peaches Preheat a grill pan or griddle over a medium heat. While you’re waiting, brush the peach slices with olive oil. Grill on both sides for about 2-3 minutes. When they’ve slightly softened and you can see grill marks, remove from the heat and set aside.
Caramelize the walnuts Heat your hot honey in a small pan over a medium heat. Don’t have Nando’s Hot Honey? Use a tablespoon of honey and add chilli flakes instead. Add the walnuts and a pinch of salt. Keep stirring for about 2-4 minutes, or until the sugar’s melted and the walnuts are caramelized. Once cooked, leave to cool on a piece of baking paper.
Toast the sourdough While you’re waiting for the walnuts to cool, toast a thick slice of sourdough until it’s golden and crispy.
Load your toast Now for the fun part. Spread a layer of the lemon and garlic ricotta mix on the toasted sourdough. Pop the grilled peach and store-bought grilled red peppers on top, then add the prosciutto slices and basil. Sprinkle with your caramelized walnuts and chopped pickled chillies and drizzle with more hot honey for a final sting. Enjoy!!
Bring the heat home
