1 orange, zest only
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 loaf sourdough bread, sliced thickly

1 tsp paprika or piment de'ville
Method
- In a small bowl combine the olive oil, orange zest, and spices
- Toast or grill the bread
- Drizzle the bread with the flavored olive oil
- Spread the ricotta evenly across the slice of toast
- Top with the pea shoots and then drizzle more of the flavored oil over the top
- Finish with a pinch of salt and a grind of black pepper
