Ricotta, Quince & Dill

A refreshing palate teaser, although will do some sampling with other herbs. Use a best quality quince paste, and a harder ricotta as opposed to the stuff you can buy in a tub. The sweetness and pungence of the quince goes nicely with the mild and fresh ricotta. Try not to use a knife - just your hands to break up the ricotta and quince--to give a more rustic appearance.

fresh ricotta, preferably from a deli
quince paste
fresh dill, chopped (coriander works very well too)
EVOO
maldon sea salt
  1. break up ricotta and quince into uneven pieces and scatter across a serving plate
  2. drizzle EVOO over everything, season with salt
  3. add dill and serve
