Ingredients
- 7 1/10 oz nduja
- 4 medium carrots
- 2 clove garlic
- 8 4/5 oz ricotta
- 2 tbsp hot honey
- 3 tbsp toasted almond flakes
- 1 1/10 cup chicken stock
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 392°F (400°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2In a bowl, toss the peeled and sliced carrots with 1 tbsp olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a grind of black pepper.
- 3Spread the carrots in a single layer on the prepared sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until they are tender and lightly caramelised.
- 4While the carrots roast, place the ricotta in a mixing bowl, add the minced garlic, and whisk until smooth and airy; season with a little salt and set aside.
- 5In a small saucepan, combine the chicken stock with the nduja; bring to a gentle simmer over medium‑low heat, stirring to dissolve the sausage, and let reduce by about one‑third, approximately 8‑10 minutes, until the sauce is glossy.
- 6When the carrots are done, transfer them to a serving platter, drizzle the hot honey over them, and immediately toss to coat evenly.
- 7Pour the nduja‑reduced stock over the honey‑glazed carrots, allowing the sauce to coat the vegetables and create a sticky glaze; let sit for 2‑3 minutes so the flavors meld.
- 8Spoon generous dollops of the garlic‑whipped ricotta around the carrots or serve it on the side for spreading.
- 9Scatter the toasted almond flakes over the top for crunch, and finish with an extra drizzle of hot honey if desired.
- 10Serve warm, optionally with a crusty loaf or a simple green salad.
