Title: ricotta cheese
Post by: containergirl on March 21, 2010, 11:46:47 am

Howdy doody,

Spanner here using the SWMBO login.

Bwaaa hahahaha!     :D

Ok ... nuff with the fun and frivolities.

Firstly I would like to say a big hello to all the Ilui survivours. Hope you are faring well.

Secondly I have been 'asked' to find a ricotta recipie on this here forum.

I have done a search but can not seem to find what it I ahve been tasked to find.

Can anyone tell me so I can appease SWMBO and show her my efforts in searching for a ricotta recipe.

Cheers all.

Hi Spanner, nice to hear from you again.  You will have to be more specific - sweet or savoury?

I think Spanner means a recipe for making ricotta cheese JD.  ;)

I'm not sure the TMX would get the milk to a high enough temperature though to make it... *think*

As per here:http://www.essortment.com/all/cheesemakingre_remb.htm (http://www.essortment.com/all/cheesemakingre_remb.htm)  ???

Hi,  I think Andi may have posted instructions for ricotta cheese.   It was amongst some other info. on cheese making.   I may have printed it off.   I'll check and get back to you.

It's not quite ricotta, but it may point you in the right direction.

Hi Spanner,

I make ricotta cheese from whey, what is left from soft cheese/paneer/kind of mozzarella (used fresh milk and lemon juice)
Just warm the whey to 50 °C and pour through a  muslin:

Quirky cooking sent me an email a LOOOOOOONg time ago apprently as I found this in my email inbox.

D'oh!!!

RICOTTA






500G FULL CREAM MUNGALI MILK (or raw milk)
1 TSP SALT
1 TBS LEMON JUICE (May require a little more if not separating)




Rinse Thermomix with water to stop milk from catching on the bottom.
Put Milk and Salt into Thermomix.
Mix on Slow Speed for 5 Min on 100 degrees.
Then add lemon while on Slow Speed for 1 Minute
Let sit for 1 minute (Should start separating)
Stir on slow speed for 30sec
Pour into a colander lined with Cheesecloth or a Tea-Towel




We have obviously not yet used this recipie but I am sure we will in the not too distant future.

Tebasile that looks interesting. I keep wanting to make some paneer so will try that with the whey. Thanks.

Looks good Tebasile - good use of the whey.

You're welcome Cookie  :).  Ricotta is the italian word for recooked. The whey should be fresh, not longer than an hour old, otherwise it won't work.

True Gerty.  But real ricotta as Tebasile says is recooked - the whey after milk has been produced with rennet etc has still got protein which comes out of so;ution when cooked.  So you don't get a lot of ricotta.

But the cottage cheese, paneer, fromage frais type recipes are usually a suitable alternative.

You can make it from junket - cut junket roughly with a knife once set and then strain it through muslin or Chux.  Still haven't posted it here  :(

I made some today using http://www.superkitchenmachine.com/2011/12574/make-ricotta-thermomix-recipe.html?sms_ss=facebook&at_xt=4dd1c20d4908f09a%2C0 looks good - now I just need to try to add some photos.
Also - do I just throw the whey away, or can it be used in something else?

Thank you judydawn - I always shake my head at people who ask questions without even looking for an answer - & then I go and do it  :-))
Now that I have read all about whey - I am not sure that the product that I have is actually whey...
