Cooking Instructions

DIP

Add the ricotta, basil, dill, lemon juice, zest, olive oil and Maldon salt to the bowl of a food processor. Whip for 1 minute until light and creamy. Spoon dip into a serving bowl and sprinkle top with toasted pine nuts and some extra basil leaves to garnish if desired.

CHICKEN AND BACON SPIEDINI

Cook to minimum internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). 

Preheat the grill to medium and brush grates lightly with vegetable oil. Once hot, grill the Spiedini for about 10 to 13 minutes if cooking from frozen, or about 5 to 6 minutes if thawed, turning frequently until golden and cooked through.

To serve, place the grilled Spiedini on a large platter along with the lemon herb ricotta and crostini for dipping. Enjoy hot off the grill.
