Warm romseco salad with baked ricotta

1. Set oven to 200ºC. Slice chives, mix with ricotta cheese, lemon juice and 2 tsp oregano. Season well with salt and pepper. Place into an oven proof dish or ramekin. Bake for 15-20 minutes until set.

2. Quarter (or halve) potatoes, add to saucepan and cover with water. Bring to boil and simmer for 8-10 minutes until just tender.

3. Trim and halve beans. Add to simmering water for 1 minute. Drain and set aside.

4. Chop roasted red peppers, 1 tomato and garlic clove. Blend with almond meal, 1 tbsp vinegar and 2 tbsp olive oil using a stick mixer or blender.

5. Slice celery and wedge remaining tomato. Tear and rinse lettuce leaves.

6. Layer fresh and cooked salad ingredients across plates. Spoon over romesco sauce to taste. Divide baked ricotta across plates and serve.
