    Mix the ingredients for the base dough and let it rise until doubled in size. Once ready, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and cut into regular squares.<\/p>\n

    Dice the cherry tomatoes and season with Extra Virgin Olive Oil, salt, and pepper. Sieve the ricotta and work it with a spatula or whisk until smooth and creamy; adjust salt and pepper to taste.<\/p>\n

    Grate or cut the lemon zest into very thin julienne strips. Briefly cook it in water with sugar and a pinch of salt, then drain, rinse under cold water and dress with a drizzle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil.<\/p>\n

    Deep fry the dough squares in plenty of hot Extra Virgin Olive Oil until golden, then drain on paper towels.<\/p>\n

    Assemble each montanara by spreading a spoonful of ricotta on the fried base, adding the seasoned tomatoes, some capers, and a few strips of lemon zest. Garnish with fried mint leaves and finish with a drizzle of raw Extra Virgin Olive Oil.<\/p>\n

    Serve immediately, preferably while warm.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7711,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[60],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8066","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ecceukch.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8066","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ecceukch.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ecceukch.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ecceukch.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ecceukch.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8066"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ecceukch.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8066\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8069,"href":"https:\/\/ecceukch.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8066\/revisions\/8069"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ecceukch.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7711"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ecceukch.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8066"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ecceukch.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8066"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ecceukch.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8066"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
