Ricotta, Feta And Mint Layers With Honeyed Blood Oranges
- 4 ounces feta
- 4 ounces ricotta
- large bunch of fresh mint leaves
- olive oil
- sea salt
- 4 tablespoons buckwheat honey
- 2 blood oranges, segmented and chopped, membranes reserved
- In a shallow bowl or dish, mash the feta with the back of a fork. Add the ricotta and stir together very well.
- Lightly oil a 3" x 6" mini loaf pan with olive oil.
- Spread 1/3 of the cheese mixture into the bottom of the pan. Cover with a single layer of mint leaves, and gently press them into the cheese. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Continue with another layer of cheese, followed by a layer of mint leaves, drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle of sea salt. Spread the last layer of cheese on top, another drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt. Place a piece of plastic wrap on the top layer of cheese to keep it moist.
- Combine the honey and chopped orange segments in a bowl. Squeeze the juice from the reserved membrane onto the segments. Stir together gently.
- Remove the plastic wrap from the cheese. Invert the mini loaf pan onto a serving dish. Spoon the honeyed oranges over top.
- Garnish with additional fresh mint leaves. Serve with pita chips, pita bread wedges, or crostini.
