In my stay in NYC, I tried different ricotta brands and, to be honest, I dislike them all. So I started searching for different recipes and well, I found it. I´m going to share it with you and with my Hungarian neighbor, Adrienn.
This ricotta taked, literally, 15 minutes from start to end and its so easy, you will never buy ricotta at the store again. It uses three ingredients and before you will notice, you will have an amazing ricotta at home to cook whatever you wish (I´ll post some ideas for you in the future). Now, the recipe
Ahora que tenemos el ingrediente podemos pasar a la receta.
INGREDIENTS:
A- Patience
B- 4 cups of whole milk
C- 1 cup of buttermilk
D- 1/3 cup of heavy cream
PROCEDURE: (I told you it was a piece of cake!)
FIRST STEP: In a large saucepan or casserole, add all the ingredients and take to the fire. There is no need to stir. In the meantime, extend a cheesecloth or dish-cloth on a bowl.
SECOND STEP: When the mixture starts boiling, you will notice the cheese will separate from the whey. It is then that we take the saucepan away from the stove.
THIRD STEP: Remove the white cheese from the saucepan and put it on the cheesecloth. When you are done, tie the cloth to the water faucet and let it drain for 5 minutes.
FOURTH STEP: Open the cheese-cloth and voilà! You have your homemade ricotta. You can add slt if you wish. It´s better to consume it that very day, but if you leave it for a couple of days in the fridge it will be fine, though not as fresh.
Promise to post recipes with ricotta as an ingredient in the future. But in the meantime, what are you going to cook with this delicious ricotta?
