Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium blood oranges peeled and pith removed (keep peel to zest, or zest prior to peelin— and yes, you can use regular OG oranges! We’re on the No Oranges Left Behind team here.
  • 1 tsp . chopped fresh rosemary leaves
  • ½ cup fresh ricotta
  • 1 Tbsp . honey
  • ½ tsp . blood orange zest
  • tsp pinch of ground vanilla bean or ¼ . pure vanilla extract
  • olive oil to taste
  • flaky sea salt to finish

Instructions
 

  • Wash and dry one of your oranges and zest at least ½ teaspoon of its rind. Then peel both oranges and remove as much pith as you can. Separate into slices. To remove the casing of each slice, cut off the tiniest sliver on the inside edge of each slice. Crack open and remove the casing.
  • Place peeled orange slices on a plate for serving.
  • In a small bowl, combine ricotta, honey, orange zest, and vanilla. Mix thoroughly. Top with a dainty or generous sprinkle of rosemary, depending on how herby you feel. You could also use thyme, if you’re feeling like a different herb adventure.
  • Serve orange slices and ricotta on small plates or in ice cream bowls, drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with a bit of sea salt.
  • Provide utensils if you wish, though you can also use your own bare hands to dip into this yumsitch.
