Ricotta Cheese

It is possible to think of cheese and not think of Somalia. When it comes to cheese, we believe Somalia is the closest you can get to a country that is the direct opposite of France. Yes, we are a nation of milk, with meat and milk (cad iyo caano) being the closest thing we have to a national dish. Yet, cheese is not in our vocabulary.

So what happens when you start making cheese in a non-cheese country? For a start, your name gets changed. Your last name becomes “cheese”. So, for example, if your name is Hassan, everyone starts calling you Hassan “Farmaajo”, farmaajo meaning cheese from the Italian formaggio. And Hassan “Farmaajo” was actually what everyone called the only cheesemaker in Mogadishu, Somalia.

Hassan made different kinds of cheeses, but the one we remember well was the fist-sized, creamy balls of fresh mozzarella. He had a large clientele and used to supply the major hotels in Mogadishu. We also remember him delivering to some of his regular customers.

We did not grow up on cheese, and back in Somalia even our homemade pizzas, surprise, had no cheese topping. Before you start feeling sorry for us, we would like to tell you that since leaving Somalia, we have made up for every gram of cheese we did not eat during our childhood. We LOVE cheese, all kinds except the very stinky ones.

Homemade ricotta is not only easy to make but is also so much better than most of the store-bought varieties. We like to spread it on a good, crusty bread and have it for breakfast or a snack. It is not justy tasty but also healthy.

Ingredients:

(Tbsp is a tablespoon; tsp is a teaspoon)
(1 cup = 237 mL = 2.4 dl; 1 Tbsp = 15 mL; 1 tsp = 5 mL); all are level measurements

 

Recipe #1:

  • 8 cups (2 litres) Whole milk (3.25%)
  • 2 tsp (10 mL) Salt
  • 6 Tbsp (90 mL) White vinegar

Recipe #2:

  • 8 cups (2 litres) Whole milk (3.25%)
  • 4 cups (1 litres) Light cream (18%) – Or table cream
  • 2 tsp (10 mL) Salt
  • 9 Tbsp (135 mL) Lemon juice

 

Directions:

 

Steps for preparing the ricotta

  1. Pour the milk into a 5.5 litre stainless steel or non-reactive pot and place it over medium heat. For a creamier ricotta add cream. Stir every 5 minutes to prevent scorching. Heat until the milk begins to steam, gets foamy, and just starts to simmer at 190°F/ 88°C.
  2. Remove the pot from the heat, then add the salt and vinegar (or lemon juice). For every litre of milk, add 3 tablespoons white vinegar or lemon juice.
  3. Stir gently three or four times to distribute the acid evenly. Cover and let it stand for 15 minutes.
  4. Using a slotted spoon, gently transfer the curds to a fine-mesh sieve.
  5. If you do not have a fine-mesh, line the sieve with paper towels.
  6. Drain for 20 minutes or less for a moister ricotta cheese. You can rinse the cheese with two cups of cold water if you wish to get rid of the vinegar or lemon taste.

Ricotta Rapide

Quand on pense fromage, on pense rarement à la Somalie. Sur la culture du fromage, nous pensons que la Somalie est le pays le plus à l’opposé de la France. Oui nous sommes une nation de lait, avec viande et lait (cad iyo caano) qui se rapproche le plus du plat national. Poutant, le mot “fromage” n’existe pas dans notre vocabulaire.

Que se passe-t-il que vous commencez à faire du fromage dans un pays qui n’en produit pas? Tout d’abord, votre nom change. Votre nom de famille devient “fromage”. Si, par exemple votre nom est Hassan, tout le monde vous appellera Hassan “Farmaajo”, farmaajo veut dire fromage et vient de l’italien formaggio. Hassan “Farmaajo” était le nom du seul fromager de Mogadishu, Somalia.

Hassan produisait différentes sortes de fromage, mais celui dont nous nous rappelons le mieux était la mozzarella sous forme de boules crèmeuses, grosses comme le poing. Il avait une clientèle importante et fournissait les grands hôtels de Mogadishu. Nous nous rappelons qu’il livrait certains de ses clients réguliers. Nous n’avons pas grandi en mangeant du fromage, et en Somalie même nos pizzas maison, surprise, ne contenaient pas de fromage.

Avant de vous sentir désolés pour nous, sachez que depuis que nous avons quitté la Somalie, nous avons rattrapé notre retard sur tout le fromage que nous n’avons pas mangé pendant notre enfance, au gramme près. Nous ADORONS le fromage, de toutes les sortes sauf ceux qui sentent très fort.

La ricotta faite maison est non seulement facile à faire mais aussi bien meilleure que la plupart des marques vendues au supermarché. Nous aimons l’étaler sur du bon pain croustillant et la manger au petit déjeuner ou au goûter. En plus d’être savoureuse, elle est équilibrée.

Ingrédients:

(cs est cuillère à soupe; cc est cuillère à café)
(1 mesure = 237 mL = 2.4 dl; 1 cs = 15 mL; 1 cc = 5 mL); mesures à ras

 

Recette #1:

  • 8 mesures (2 litres) de Lait Entier (3.25%)
  • 2 cc (10 mL) de Sel
  • 6 cs (90 mL) de Vinaigre Blanc

Recette #2:

  • 8 mesures (2 litres) de Lait Entier (3.25%)
  • 4 mesures (1 litre) de Crème légère (18%) – ou de crème liquide
  • 2 cc (10 mL) de Sel
  • 9 cs (135 mL) de Jus de Citron

 

Instructions:

 

Étapes de préparation de la ricotta

  1. Verser le lait dans une marmite en acier inoxydable ou non réactive de 5,5 litres et faire chauffer à feu moyen. Ajouter de la crème pour obtenir une ricotta plus crèmeuse. Tourner toutes les 5 minutes pour éviter que la lait ne brûle. Chauffer jusqu’à ce que le lait commence à fumer, à mousser et commence juste à frémir à 190 °F/88°C.
  2. Retirer la marmite du feu, puis ajouter le sel et le vinaigre (ou jus de citron). Ajouter 3 cuillères à soupe de vinaigre ou de jus de citron par litre de lait.
  3. Tourner délicatement trois ou quatre fois pour répartir l’acide. Couvrir et laisser reposer 15 minutes.
  4. Transférer le caillé dans un tamis fin.
  5. Si votre tamis n’est pas fin, doublez le avec du papier absorbant.
  6. Égoutter 20 minutes ou moins pour obtenir du cottage cheese qui sera moins sec. Vous pouvez rincer le fromage avec deux mesures d’eau froide si vous le souhaitez.

    Your recipe’s are amazing. But I was wondering what I am doing wrong if my ricotta cheese isn’t clumping properly. Can I add more vinegar during the cooling down period for better separation of whey and curds?

    • A&L
      February 12, 2014 | 8:12 pm

      Thank you for your comment. The milk probably didn’t reach the required temperature. It is OK to add more vinegar when you take off the heat.
