Fancy Toast/Cracker Quick lunch Ideas

🫛 This is such a quick, satisfying springtime lunch – you could prepare an ultra simple version of this with just some seasoned ricotta and a couple small strips of ham. Just a little bit of lemon zest, juice, olive oil and salt really turn the cheese into something special. The artichoke and bean mix goes lovely on a number of dishes and adds some freshness to this but if you’re pressed for time some good quality jarred preserved artichokes will do the job just fine. The crackers themselves have a tiny ingredients list, are packed with fibre and are super convenient to keep in the pantry.

Ingredients
• Ryvita Rye Crackers
• 250g fresh ricotta
• Lemon juice, lemon zest
• Chives, Mint, Parsley
• 100g broad beans, shucked
• Preserved artichokes
• Prosciutto crudo

Method
➊Start by blanching the broad beans in salted boiling water for 1-2m or until tender and immediately submerging them into ice water.
➋Season the fresh ricotta with lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper and minced chives
➌Dress the broad beans and artichokes in olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, chives, mint and parsley.
➍Spread out a generous smear of the ricotta mixture onto the base of your cracker and top with prosciutto crudo, broad beans, artichokes and plenty of greens to finish.”
