What is the flowery herbish looking garnish?
my breakfast almost every morning is a version of this "dessert" -- cultured cottage cheese with fruit (all stone fruit, all summer long), olive oil, rosemaried marcona almonds, and flaky sea salt. Winning combo with endless possibilities!
That's fennel
Simply delicious. The kind of ricotta used will make a big difference here. If you can find Bel Gioioso's Ricotta Con Latte it is a delectable option in this recipe. I prefer yellow stone fruits over white ones so used yellow nectarines. Omitted the olive oil and it was still a winner. Although I'm considering trying this with sectioned (supremed) blood oranges come citrus season and I may add the olive oil then.
Fennel flowers
Simply delicious. Added a pinch of salt on top.
Perfect all the time
Delicious, other ways grill, top w cinnamon and honey and mascarpone
I have some amazing peaches right now, and this caught my eye (as does pretty much anything with ricotta). Alas, it was lunchtime & I was by myself. So, I turned it into a salad - A bed of baby arugula, which was a great counter to the sweetness, the peaches with just a little lemon juice, the ricotta, then the pistachios, with just a little drizzle of both the honey and the olive oil. What an incredible lunch I just had! And, I may just make this as written for dessert tonight! :-)
I can’t identify the garnish but nasturtiums would certainly feed the eye.
A lovely, simple treat. Not having enough ricotta on hand, I did a mix of that and Greek yoghurt (which I think I like better, anyway—a bit lighter than straight ricotta), and stirred the honey into this. I used yellow peaches, and garnished with torn-up fresh mint leaves as well as the pistachios. I omitted the EVOO this time—figured there was enough going on already—but will give it a try next time.
Thanks so much for this lovely, simple, relatively healthy dessert. I whipped the ricotta first to make it creamier. The drizzle of olive oil surprised me but was a very nice addition.

Very simple but very good. I didn't have pistachios or any other nuts in the pantry, so I sprinkled a bit of very crunchy granola and it was very good. I look forward to try it with toasted pistachios next time !
That's fennel
So simple and absolutely delicious. I had some mint leaves which I shredded and added but otherwise I made it as in the recipe Perfect!
What is the flowery herbish looking garnish?
They look like young dill blossoms but would love to know for sure.
Curly parsley, perhaps? Hard to see.
Looks like broccolini buds. I'm mystified myself.
