Ingredients

  • 5 medium-sized red pepper
  • 2 cloves of garlic cut paper thin
  • 2 teaspoons of cayenne pepper
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons mustard seed
  • 2 slices bread of your choice
  • Cold-smoked ricotta Alternatively you can use regular ricotta with smoked salt
  • Fresh mozzarella

Instructions

  • To prepare the Red Pepper Mostardo: Make a dry caramel with the sugar. Once the sugar is a medium amber add the vinegar and allow the caramel to melt. (Be careful, it will sizzle and splatter.)
  • Add the peppers, garlic, and mustard seeds and allow to cook till it reaches a jam-like consistency.
  • Note: The mostardo will last a while.
  • Shmear cold-smoke ricotta (or you can cheat and add some smoked salt to it, REAL SMOKED SALT)
  • Layer it on Ciabatta (or focaccia) with fresh mozzarella and a healthy dose of Red Pepper Mostarda.
