Make a delicious vegetarian antipasto platter featuring baked ricotta in vine leaf.
Ingredients:
  • 3 red capsicums, quartered, seeded
  • 3 zucchini, trimmed, thinly sliced lengthways
  • 36.40 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • Thyme sprigs
  • 200g mixed marinated olives
  • 240g ricotta
  • 100g feta, crumbled
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 20.00 ml finely chopped dill
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 40.00 ml toasted pine nuts
  • 1 egg, lightly whisked
  • 1 vine leaf
  • 1 long baguette, thinly sliced diagonally
  • 18.20 gm extra virgin olive oil
Instructions:
  • 1. Preheat the grill on high heat. Grill the capsicums with skin-side up for 8-10 minutes until charred and blistered. Remove from the grill and place them in a bowl. Cover with a plate or foil and let them sit for 10 minutes to make peeling the skin easier. Peel the capsicums and cut the flesh into thick slices.
  • Preheat a blazing hot char-grill. Grill zucchini, turning occasionally, until slightly charred, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, toss with capsicums, oil, and thyme. Chill in the fridge for 2 hours to enhance flavors. Serve at room temperature.
  • - Preheat oven to 180°C. - Mix ricotta, feta, green onions, dill, garlic, pine nuts, egg, and lemon rind in a bowl. - Season with salt and pepper. - Brush a 1 1/2-cup (375ml) ramekin with olive oil and line with vine leaf. - Spoon in the ricotta mixture. - Bake for 45 minutes until golden and cooked through. - Let it cool for 30 minutes. - Arrange baguette slices on oven trays, drizzle with oil, and bake until crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Gently flip the ricotta onto a platter, then beautifully lay out the chargrilled vegetables alongside the ricotta and olives.
