👀What is Ricotta cheese :
🌎Ricotta is a type of whey cheese, but many other countries have their own versions made from leftover milk solids.It’s known as Lor cheese in Turkey, as Ricotta in Italy, as Myzithra (or Mizithra) and Anthotyro in Grece and by many different names in other countries.
NutriFact:
As it’s a whey protein, it’s packed with high-quality protein and vitamins. A 1/4-cup serving provides about 7 grams of protein, along with good amounts of Vitamin B12, Vitamin A, and phosphorus, and is a good source of calcium. Plus, it’s lower in sodium and fat than any other cheese, so it’s definitely one of the healthiest cheeses. And how nice it is to be able to make it at home with only 2 ingredients. It’s absolutely an excellent choice to keep you full and satisfied for a long time.
M E T H O D:
1.Warm the milk in a large pan.
2.When it starts boiling, add lemon juice and stir in couple minutes. You will see a little curds are appearing on the top of the milk. Wait until the liquid turns into a transparent color in the bottom of the pan.
3.Then strain the curds in a strainer.
4.Drain the curds in half an hour in room temperatures and serve with either sweet jam or olive oil and some herbs. 🍃🍓
Ps: If you use a whole fat milk, it gets more delicious 😋 and you can add a little bit of cream and mix it after it drains completely, so it becomes more creamy for pasta and to cook stuffings for meals.
If you have milk in your fridge and it will be almost out of date soon, Let’s make this cheese and enjoy it for breakfast with bread and Jam 🍓or just with olive oil and some herbs🍃 or you can add it to your pasta for your lunch. 🍝
