I added about 1/4 tsp salt to 1 qt goat milk, 1 c buttermilk. I could only find low fat buttermilk, but the fat in the goat milk seems to have made up for it. I could not resist stirring for longer than I should have, so the curds did not come together as well as they should have. I will do better next time. The next goat milk project is some goat milk caramel. There was some out for tasting at one of my favorite stores where they always have tasty things to try (Dave's Pasta, Davis Sq, Somerville, MA). The tart balanced with the sweet so well. Yum!! I made the ricotta with goat milk– OMG– it was sssooooo good. I added about 1/4 tsp salt to 1 qt goat milk, 1 c buttermilk.

Then I added the onion marmalade, substituted in some leftover turkey bacon, and sprinkled on some goat cheese...1 word: heavenly. I've made so many recipes from SK, and every one has been outstanding. My husband and coworkers thank you Deb!!!

Thanks so much. I actually put in edamame in my ricotta. Long story, but it turned out okay. http://www.foodieindenial.com/2009/12/pizza-with-caramalised-onion-edamame.html Your recipe was fantastic!

I've been saving an expensive and special bottle of Pinot Noir since my birthday in March. I finally had the time to make something equally special and it was fantastic. All of the flavors really complemented one another. It was an amazing meal to treat my hubby on date night. This was fantastic and really very easy to make.

I modified the ricotta slightly, making a smaller batch with 1.5 quarts milk and 1.5 cups buttermilk, plus a couple of big strips of lemon zest, a very small piece of star anise, and a teaspoon of salt. The anise and the lemon zest gave it just that little bit of pizazz that made my boyfriend go crazy! Why would I ever buy ricotta again?? I made this pizza without the meat last night.

Slice red onions paper thin, toss with olive oil, red pepper flakes and finely chopped, fresh rosemary. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Spread the onion mix on pizza dough (Thinly rolled) and bake in a hot oven until crust is very crispy. Great for parties, or in place of garlic bread. Try this in a foccacia twist…

I then just made some of your pizza dough. Was planning on using the mozz for the pizza tonight, but did a search for ricotta to see what would come up here on Smitten Kitchen and lo and behold - we are having this for dinner instead!

"Ricotta" means "re-cooked" and it's the cheese that's made from all that whey that you tossed. Technically, because it's not made from milk, ricotta is not a cheese, rather a whey product. I mean, what you have there looks really really tasty, but it's not ricotta...and it's things like this that make me grumpy at Michael Chiarello. I can't tell you how many times I've had to yell at the TV because he was giving out bogus information. Then again, I'm a horrible pedant.

I have a coworker whose son is taking care of a goat this summer, so I keep hearing about how they are up to their ears in more goat's milk than they know what to do with ... sounds like a great opportunity to me. I'm looking forward to giving this one a try. And here I’ve been thinking I need to try my hand at cheesemaking!
