How to Make It
Step 1
In a large skillet, melt the butter. Add the corn, shallot and garlic and cook over moderate heat until the corn is crisp-tender, about 7 minutes.

Scrape into a food processor and let cool slightly. Add the ricotta, lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of water and puree until very smooth. Season with salt and white pepper.
Step 3
Transfer the dip to a bowl and drizzle with chile oil. Serve with crudités or pita chips.
Make Ahead
The dip can be refrigerated overnight. Serve at room temperature.
