Whipped Goat Ricotta with Roasted Fig Salad

WHIPPED GOAT RICOTTA WITH ROASTED FIG SALAD

PAIRED WITH:  Flâneur Constantin Chardonnay

Step 1: In a large stock pot, pour in all of the milks with a healthy pinch of salt. Slowly warm and constantly stir the bottom until the temperature of the milk is 180 degrees. Pour in the vinegar to cut the heat. Wait 5 or so minutes for the milk to curdle and separate. 

Step 2: Strain curdles into a strainer with cheesecloth. Let strain slowly for about 1-2 hours.

Step 3: Using a food processor, combine the goat cheese with the ricotta and season with salt and pepper. Use oil or lemon juice to loosen and make the ricotta spreadable.

Step 4: In a bowl, combine the vinegar, honey, thyme and garlic, in a roasting pan pour this mixture over the figs and roast at 350 for 20 minutes or until crispy. Set aside.

Step 5: On a serving platter, smear the goat ricotta as thick as desired and place the radicchio leaves. Top the radicchio with the roasted figs and use the drippings to pour over the whole platter. Season with flakey salt.

Step 6: Garnish to your liking. We recommend serving with lots of fresh parsley, Radicchio leaves, and crusty bread! Enjoy with white wine of your choice, we recommend 2020 Constantin Chardonnay.
