Wonderfully succulent and creamy

“With this ricotta recipe the polenta ricotta pie is the side dish to the braised leg of lamb. With polenta the problem is often that it is perceived as being very crumbly and dry. The ricotta, helps here to make the whole thing stable and above all soft, among other things due to its water content. The so-called “Dutch Oven” is also used with this dish. This is a cast iron pot to simply and easily prepare delicious dishes. The Dutch Oven can also be used really well for barbecues, especially with gas barbecues. Simply place the Dutch Oven on the barbecue until it is ready. Thanks to the Dutch oven the polenta ricotta pie is still wonderfully succulent and creamy long after serving. A good red wine would also go well with this.”
