I decided to create this summery folly because I wanted a low-carb, savory "something" made with fresh ricotta cheese. While measuring, weighing, making notes, and putting it all into the processor, I thought, no, this kite ain't gonna fly … But when I tasted the end result before chilling, I found it delicious. It tastes mild, creamy, herby and moreish. The red sauce must have a slight bite and should be served sparingly. I should have made this in individual molds, but by the time I realised that would have looked nicest, it was too late and the pate was already chilling! The seasonings can be changed, for example by using only Tabasco, (more than I indicated), or use only black pepper. You can also cheat a little bit and add a tiny drop of green food colouring for a darker green. For the red sauce I used South African (chopped) peppadews (also known as piquanté peppers), but as that might not be easily available to you, you can cheat here, too, and use a store-bought salsa (puree it for a more sophisticated look). Or make your own red-pepper sauce with sweet bell peppers and tomato. -- posted by Zurie
