Dinner Italian Spicy Vegetarian

Ingredients

7 1/10 oz nduja
4 medium carrots
2 clove garlic
8 4/5 oz ricotta
2 tbsp hot honey
3 tbsp toasted almond flakes
1 1/10 cup chicken stock
1 tbsp olive oil
salt
black pepper

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 392°F (400°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a bowl, toss the peeled and sliced carrots with 1 tbsp olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a grind of black pepper.
3
Spread the carrots in a single layer on the prepared sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until they are tender and lightly caramelised.
4
While the carrots roast, place the ricotta in a mixing bowl, add the minced garlic, and whisk until smooth and airy; season with a little salt and set aside.
5
In a small saucepan, combine the chicken stock with the nduja; bring to a gentle simmer over medium‑low heat, stirring to dissolve the sausage, and let reduce by about one‑third, approximately 8‑10 minutes, until the sauce is glossy.
6
When the carrots are done, transfer them to a serving platter, drizzle the hot honey over them, and immediately toss to coat evenly.
7
Pour the nduja‑reduced stock over the honey‑glazed carrots, allowing the sauce to coat the vegetables and create a sticky glaze; let sit for 2‑3 minutes so the flavors meld.
8
Spoon generous dollops of the garlic‑whipped ricotta around the carrots or serve it on the side for spreading.
9
Scatter the toasted almond flakes over the top for crunch, and finish with an extra drizzle of hot honey if desired.
10
Serve warm, optionally with a crusty loaf or a simple green salad.
