- 250 g Ricotta
- 6 Sheets of Pane Carasau or equivalent in crackers
- 14 Cherry tomatoes
- 6 Anchovy fillets
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 Lemon
- 8 Basil leaves
- Black pepper
- Salt
- Olive oil
Pour a drizzle of olive oil into a pan, along with a clove of garlic and a sprig of basil to flavor the oil.
Remove the garlic clove and the sprig once they begin to brown.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes along with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Sauté and when they are almost ready, add 4 basil leaves.
Remove from heat as they begin to soften a bit, but without letting them lose their shape, we are not making a sofrito.
Mix the ricotta with a pinch of pepper and the zest of half a lemon.
Cut the anchovy fillets into small squares.
Assemble the dish: Spread a little ricotta on top of the bread, some anchovy squares, a little basil, and 4 or 5 half tomatoes (depending on the size of the bread you use) and so on, until forming a tower of about 3 layers.
Grate a little more lemon and a drizzle of honey on top.
