White Cheese Balls With Pistachios

DIRECTIONS

STEP 1

Put the cheese in a medium bowl and mash it with a large fork as smooth as possible.

STEP 2

Add the ricotta, garlic, fennel, olive oil, mint and hot pepper. Mix thoroughly until a creamy mixture is obtained.

STEP 3

Scoop with a large spoon and use your hands to shape the mixture into balls.

STEP 4

Spread the chopped pistachios on a plate and roll the balls on all sides so that the pieces of nuts stick to them.

Spoon some of the mint sauce onto a serving plate and arrange the balls. I recommend making it with BDS cow cheese.
