Nectarines with ricotta and Pata Negra
This is an uncomplicated appetizer, perfect in summer or when you’re longing for the warm and light Swedish summer evenings. Just make sure that you have ripe nectarines and not tasteless ones, like the ones I bougth yesterday. The idea is from Swedish chef Leila Lindholm, but I’m not writing down the quantites as it’s not really necessary.

Ricotta filled nectarines wrapped in Pata Negra
Pata Negra, a couple of slices
Ricotta cheese
Nectarines
Cut each nectarine in half. Remove the pit and cut the halves into wedges. Spread some ricotta on each wedge. Wrap each wedge in a piece of Pata Negra and fix with a tooth pick.

Lovely, simple, and summery – and sadly, not for UK temperatures at the moment!

It’s an amazing combination. And it’s really authentic to use “pata negra”, you look like Spanish. Kerstin,BCN.

Now that’s different! I’m definitely going to try this one!

What a mouth-watering photo! This is a fantastic appetizer! I have tried this before but I grilled the nectarines beforehand to caramelize the natural sugars…perhaps that would help too if the nectarines are not at their best…

Nectarines are also nice with parmaham, rocket and mozzarella as a sallad in the summer. This combo is a classic Jamie Oliver one;)
I´m trying your version, I love sweet and salty together. And I really like you rblog, nice work.
