Nectarine And Ricotta Stack - A Riff On Caprese

1. 1

   Slice the nectarines (and tomatoes if using) into 8 slices each and set aside. In a small bowl, mix the ricotta and the lemon zest together.

2. 2

   To assemble, set out two plates. Place some pesto on each plate, followed by a nectarine slice (and tomato), sprinkle some ricotta cheese over the top, drizzle some pesto and repeat till a 3-4 layer tower is constructed. Repeat on the second plate.

3. 3

   Garnish with the crushed pink peppercorns and the basil leaves and finish with a drizzle of pesto. Serve with a crisp white. Applaud the goodness of (God) and the summer. (And forget that my attempts at ricotta, sorry queso blanco failed - this wasn't ricotta from whey, but rather whole milk and so I dare not call it that!)
