ARTICHOKE AND SALTED RICOTTA TART WITH SALSA VERDE
SERVES 6-8 Prep time: 25 min. Cooking: 50 min (plus cooling, resting)
This grown-up tart brims with fresh flavours. If you can’t find fresh artichokes (it being late winter!), use grilled and marinated artichokes (available from delicatessens). Fresh ricotta from the delicatessen will give best results – either buffalo or cow’s milk ricotta will do.
