Arugula, Ricotta, and Black Olive Dip
This dip combines arugula, ricotta, and black olives into a delicious dish.
Prep Time: 15M
Serves: Serves 4
Ingredients:
- about 1 cup arugula (rocket)
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed through a press
- 1/3 cup black olives, pitted
- finely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 9oz (250g) ricotta cheese
- freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
- Combine the arugula, garlic, olives, lemon zest and juice, and oil in a food processor, and process until smooth.
- Transfer to a medium bowl, then stir in the ricotta, and season with pepper. Mix well.
- Serve with torn chunks of crusty sourdough bread or with toasted baguette slices.
- Use good-quality dry black olives with plenty of flavor, and make sure the arugula is very fresh. Buy it loose if possible, as bagged leaves go rotten much quicker.
