Burrata is like mozzarella but it has a centre stuffed with cream and curds, making it a simple yet luxurious starter. Its fresh milky flavour means it goes with all kinds of other flavours, but here its accessorised with Chilli and Basil Pesto, as the peppery chili heat and pungent basil has a perfect flavour contrast. The theme of quality and simplicity means that all that’s needed is a few salad leaves and some grilled artichokes, so why work harder when you can throw this together in a few minutes?
1 burrata, approx. 100-150g (or use buffalo mozzarella if unavailable)
2tbsp Chilli and Basil Pesto
140g grilled artichoke antipasti
50g mixed salad leaves, like rocket and watercress
Drizzle of Verdemanda Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt and pepper
Grilled bread, such as focaccia or sourdough
Drain the artichokes of any oil. Drain the burrata of any liquid then carefully place at the centre of a plate or bowl and top with the pesto
Sprinkle the salad leaves around season with salt and pepper and drizzle with a little olive oil. Scatter the artichokes over the top.
When ready to eat, cut into the burrata and allow the creamy insides to mix with the pesto, before spooning onto warm bread, with the salad leave and artichokes. Top with extra Pesto if you feel like it.
