Every time I go to Martina, my hometown in Puglia, I pay a visit to a small but very successful restaurant called Terra Terra<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here, the food is always exceptional. You can find very traditional dishes with a twist and new recipes always made with the freshest ingredients. Reasonably priced too. That’s why it is always busy.<\/p>\n

Last weekend, I was there for my last dinner in Martina. I tasted a new dish and I loved it. Today, I called Chef Lorenzo and asked for the recipe of the Roulade\u00a0of courgette and ricotta with herbs on a bed of caramelised cherry tomato. He promptly told me how to make it. The result may not be as good as the one I tasted there (the ingredients are always very important) but still delicious. We cleaned our\u00a0dishes with bread up to last drop of ricotta.<\/p>\n

So, here it is for you.<\/p>\n

Roulade of courgette and ricotta with herbs on a bed of caramelised cherry tomato<\/h2>\n

Ingredients for 2 people<\/h3>\n

2 medium courgettes
\n250 gr of ricotta
\nmint and basil

\"Roulade<\/a><\/p>\n

Chop the mint and the basil\u00a0very thinly.<\/p>\n

\"Roulade<\/a><\/p>\n

Pour the ricotta in a small bowl. Add the herbs.<\/p>\n

\"Roulade<\/a><\/p>\n

Drizzle of olive oil. Add\u00a0salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything\u00a0with a fork.<\/p>\n

Take out the courgette from the oven and start to create the roulade or fagottino as we call it in Italy.\u00a0You can use ring (12cm) in stainless steel to make the roulade. I used a small bowl instead.\u00a0Then,\u00a0starting from the centre, I positioned the slices of courgette to create\u00a0a star.<\/p>\n
