[...] Regular readers will know of my unashamed love affair with ricotta and the figs pair up beautifully with it. You might remember I did strawberry and ricotta toast a few weeks back and a few years (!) back I did blood orange and ricotta with brazil nuts. [...]

[...] You can even transform it into a quick dessert by ditching the toast and adding a handful of nuts. Enjoy with a teaspoon to make it last longer. You might remember a few years ago I did it with juicy blood oranges. [...]

Hi Esi,

I’m so glad you enjoyed this combination of flavours! I adore mascarpone and the pistachios would have added lovely colour. I might try your combination myself :)

I made this with homemade mascarpone and pistachios. So rich and delicious and EASY! Never would have though to put that combo together. Thanks for the inspiration.

This is a splendid recipe! I ended up having walnuts and not brazil: I melted and browned sugar, tossed in the nuts to toast them and coat them lightly, and took out the nuts as garnish whole. Then took the pan, added a spoon of marmalade and some marsala, and made a pretty hard syrup – used a spoonfull of that on each plate in lieu of honey – absolutely wonderful. Am very grateful you thought of this! Thanks!

I’ve never thought of putting ricotta in something sweet, but it definitely works here. I like all the different textures and colors. I aspire to eat as healthy as you do :).
