Scotch Egg reinvented. We have the Scotch egg - meat stuffed with boiled egg then fried, or crumbed first then fried. This time I am thinking for a vegetarian dish, how about steamed ricotta stuffed with a boiled egg. It can be yummy, served with a lot of salads, and generous nuts, that way it becomes a substantial vegetarian dish.

| Ricotta Stuffed with Egg Garnished with Leafy Green, Diced Sweet -Potatoes Glazed Macadamia and Pecan Nuts |
The reinvented dish worked out very well, the garnish matches the food perfectly. The subtle taste of ricotta blends with the glazed nuts beautifully. I think it is a very delicious, healthy and elegant dish.
My idea was based on an experience when I was in Assisi, I remember that the local people were selling the fresh ricotta along the street. The ricotta was served with honey. I bought and tried some, It was so Delish!
