GRILLED NECTARINES WITH HONEY-ORANGE RICOTTA WHIPPED CREAM AND TOASTED ALMONDS

- In a large bowl, whisk together the ricotta, cream, honey, orange zest and vanilla seeds until light and fluffy. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

- Put some of the ricotta onto each serving plate. Top with nectarines and garnish with toasted sliced almonds and mint sprigs.
GRILLED HONEY-NECTARINE RICOTTA TOAST
This sweet and creamy ricotta toast makes the perfect brunch or mid-day snack. Grilling the fruit adds a lovely caramelized flavor, topped with the sweetness from the honey, crunch from the almonds and brightness from the hint of fresh mint. Use a thick-cut crusty bread like sourdough so it can stand up to the toppings.

Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil grate.
- Drizzle 1 teaspoon olive oil onto a small plate. Place nectarine wedges on the plate and cover all sides with oil. Brush both sides of bread with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
- Place nectarines onto the hot grate and grill 1 to 2 minutes per side; remove to a plate. When nectarine wedges have cooled slightly, cut each wedge in 1/2 lengthwise so you now have 16 pieces.
- Place bread slices onto the hot grate and cook until grill marks appear and bread is toasted, about 1 minute per side; remove to a plate.
- Spread ricotta cheese onto each slice of toast. Arrange 8 nectarine slices onto each toast and top with almonds. Sprinkle with mint and drizzle with honey. Cut each toast in half and serve.

GRILLED SUMMER SQUASH WITH HOT HONEY AND RICOTTA
Turns out that hot honey, the buzzy condiment that's transformed the way folks enjoy pizza and fried chicken, is just as game-changing on grilled vegetables. Whisk it into a vinaigrette along with sliced shallots and jalapeños, and pour that over summer squashes and zucchini when they're still warm; then marinate for 10 minutes, or up to overnight. When it's time to eat, plate the velvety vegetables with ricotta, fresh mint, and toasted almonds, and let heat and herbaceous flavor have a blast.

Steps:
- Heat a small skillet over medium. Swirl in 1 tablespoon olive oil, add almonds, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant and golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Scrape almonds onto a small paper-towel-lined plate; let cool slightly, then coarsely chop.
- Return skillet to medium heat; add 2 tablespoons olive oil and shallots. Cook, stirring often, until translucent and just turning golden on edges, about 3 minutes. Stir in honey and jalapeño. Bring to a simmer over medium, then simmer, undisturbed, 1 minute. Remove from heat; pour mixture into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Whisk in vinegar.
- Preheat grill to medium-high; scrub grates, then lightly brush with vegetable oil. Brush summer squashes and zucchini with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil; grill, flipping twice, until lightly charred and tender, about 10 minutes total. Transfer to baking dish with honey mixture; toss to coat, and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Let stand at room temperature 10 minutes, flipping summer squashes and zucchini halfway. (Or refrigerate, covered, up to 12 hours.)
- Dollop ricotta evenly among 4 plates; season with salt and pepper. Serve vegetables atop ricotta, drizzled with leftover honey mixture from baking dish, and sprinkled with toasted almonds and mint.
