Cacio Faenum with Baked Apricot and Almond Puree
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for coating and drizzling
- 4 ripe apricots, halved and pitted
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 cup Marcona almonds, toasted
- 8 ounces Cacio Faenum
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Place a silicone liner on a baking sheet and coat with a little olive oil.
- Roll the apricots around in the oil, then place them, cut-sides down, on the liner.
- Sprinkle the tops with sugar.
- Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the tops are brown and the halves collapse.
- Transfer to a plate and allow to cool to room temperature.
- Place in the bowl of a food processor along with the almonds, and puree until very smooth.
- Push the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to ensure it is perfectly silky and smooth.
- Smear about 2 tablespoons puree on each plate and serve alongside a wedge of Cacio Faenum.
- Drizzle both with olive oil and serve.
