Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beets

    If the smoked beets are not pre-cooked, wrap them in foil and roast in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 45-60 minutes or until tender. Once cooked, let them cool, peel, and cut into small cubes.

  2. 2

    Whip the Ricotta

    In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, olive oil, salt, and the juice of the Meyer lemon. Using a hand mixer or food processor, whip the mixture until it becomes light and airy.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Apple

    Core and thinly slice the apple. You can leave the skin on for added color and texture.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    Spread the whipped ricotta on a serving platter. Arrange the smoked beet cubes and apple slices on top. Drizzle with additional olive oil, season with black pepper, and sprinkle fresh herbs to finish.
