Roasted Tomatoes
2 pints cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tablespoon fennel seed
3 garlic cloves, halved if large (green germ removed)
1 dried red chile de arbol, crumbled (or fresh jalepeno or hot red pepper)
1 cup olive oil
1 baguette, thinly sliced - toasted or not
Ricotta with Lemon
2 cups fresh ricotta - it pays to get it from a pork store, local cheesemaker or Italian deli
1/2 lemon, juiced and zested
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons best qualily olive oil
1/4 cup basil, roughly chopped only if in season

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine halved tomatoes, garlic, fennel seed , chile and olive oil in a gratin or baking dish. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring once or twice.
2
Mix the ricotta, lemon juice and zest in a shallow serving bowl. Season the ricotta with salt and pepper to taste and drizzle the top with the good quality olive oil. If seasonal, sprinkle with chopped basil.
3
Toast the baguette slices under the broiler, watching carefully. Honestly, not toasting the bread is fine and certainly eliminates an annoying step. Put toasted or untoasted baguette slices in a bowl or on a serving platter.
4
Remove the tomatoes from the oven and serve warm in the gratin or baking dish, accompanied by the ricotta and bread (and two spoons). Let your guests dig in.....
