Bored with the same old dips and spreads? Serve this jammy, sweet, savory, spicy recipe at your next party. Make a second batch because the first one will go fast!
Let’s get right to it!
Ingredients:
2 pints cherry tomatoes (hopefully collected from your own garden!)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons local honey
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 teaspoon chili flake
1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper each
5 sprigs of basil, chopped
5 sprigs of thyme, chopped – plus a small handful for garnish
3/4 cup ricotta cheese
3/4 cup greek yogurt
Extra honey and olive oil to drizzle
Toasted sour dough bread (or other bread like focaccia for dipping)
In a skillet on high heat, add tomatoes and olive oil and cook 3-4 minutes until tomatoes are blistered. Reduce heat to low and add garlic, honey, salt, pepper, chili flake, thyme and basil. Cook until tomatoes are thick and jammy, about 15-20 min.
Mix ricotta and yogurt in a mixing bowl and pour into a serving dish. Spoon warm tomato mixture on top and drizzle with olive oil and honey. Garnish with fresh thyme and scoop up with toasted bread. You can add a little more chili flake for extra heat. Enjoy!
