Method

  1. In a bowl, combine the ricotta, goat’s cheese, lemon zest and juice, herbs and olives. Season to taste.
  2. Slice the spring onions part way through lengthways, then open up. Rub with oil and season well. Heat a griddle pan until smoking, then fry the onions until lightly charred (about 20 minutes). In a small pan, fry the ’nduja, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned.
  3. Toast the ciabatta, then drizzle with oil and top with the herby ricotta, ’nduja and onions. Sprinkle with extra lemon zest to serve.

’Nduja is a spreadable, spicy Calabrian sausage. Find it in larger supermarkets or Italian delis. If you can’t get hold of it, break up the insides of cooking chorizo and fry with a little chilli.
