method
- For the basil vinaigrette combine all ingredients together and mix well.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Line a suitable size roasting tray with greaseproof and spoon ricotta onto the greaseproof breaking it apart (the flatter it is the darker and crispier it will become). Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
- Sprinkle the tomatoes with a little salt and a teaspoon of dried oregano then set aside to macerate.
- Cut the sourdough into 1.5 cm sized croutons and drizzle over a teaspoon of oil. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes until golden and crispy.
- To serve combine the tomatoes, green chilli and basil and place into a suitable size mixing bowl. Use a small amount of the liquid which has come from the tomatoes, toss gently to combine.
- Sprinkle over the croutons and serve with the vinaigrette.
