Hemp ricotta
HEMP RICOTTA 🌿
Ingredients:
• 200g hulled hemp seeds
• 1 L water
• 1 teaspoon salt (for savory recipes, otherwise a pinch is enough)
➡️ METHOD:
• Blend the seeds for a few minutes until they are completely broken down and transformed into a white liquid;
• Bring to a boil, stirring frequently, then when you notice the milk starting to curdle naturally, lower the heat and stir for 1-2 minutes, then turn off the heat;
• Prepare a tall bowl or saucepan by placing a sieve and a piece of cotton cheesecloth** over it. Pour the mixture into it, cover with the cheesecloth, and place a weight on top. Let it rest for 1-2 hours, depending on how soft or firm you want it, and then the hemp seed ricotta is ready;
• You can serve it with a drizzle of oil, a little pepper, and aromatic herbs, accompanied by croutons and vegetables, or use it as a plant-based alternative in recipes that call for ricotta.
**The cheesecloth used to make ricotta or for other food applications must be made of cotton, linen, hemp, or another natural material. It must not be dyed, but the natural color of the yarn. Ideally, choose a medium-fine weave, wide enough to allow the liquid to pass through but not the ricotta. You can purchase it at scrap shops.
