Ricotta Festival 2026: Jason Shiong's Ricotta al Forno with Hot Chilli Honey

Ricotta al Forno is a humbleexpression of Italy’s cucina contadina — the simple, resourceful cooking of rural families. Fresh ricotta, often made the same morning, is gently baked until its surface turns golden.

 

INGREDIENTS:

For the Ricotta:

175g That's Amore Ricotta

90g That's Amore Mascarpone

1 Egg

50g Parmigianno Reggiano, finely grated

 

For the honey:

¼ tsp Nigella seeds

½ tsp Aleppo pepper

½ Tbs summer savoury

Pinch Cracked black pepper

80g Walkabout bush honey

 

To finish:

Juice of ½ a lemon

A Pinch of salt

 

METHOD:

Preheat oven to 200 degrees

For the honey, combine all ingredients in saucepan until it's warm and loose. Just enough for flavours to combine. Set aside until later.

Blend ricotta, mascarpone, egg and reggiano in a food processor until smooth

Line 5”cake rings with spray oil and baking paper & place onto lined tray

Add mix to the ring and smooth out to edges
