Burrata, an Italian delicacy, is now available in many supermarkets and specialty stores. This cheese has a mozzarella outside, with a creamy oozy mixture of cream and mozzarella on the inside. It's a perfect way to shake up a Caprese salad; a drizzle of sweet aged balsamic, makes it magnifico!
Ingredients
- 3 - 4 ripe tomatoes, preferably heirlooms (a variety of colors will add interest to the salad) shopping list
- 1 (8-ounce) container (2 balls) Burrata cheese, cut into halves shopping list
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, or to taste shopping list
- salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste shopping list
- A good extra virgin olive oil, to drizzle shopping list
- Aged Balsamic of Modena vinegar, aged 25 years or more (If you use regular balsamic, it doesn't have the same sweetness of a truly aged balsamic, so if you need to use this, reduce some with a bit of sugar until you have a thick syrupy glaze, or get some balsamic glace (such as Colavita brand) shopping list
How to make it
- Slice the tomatoes and place over-lapping on each of 4 plates. Place the Burrata half along side. Season all with salt and freshly ground pepper, then sprinkle the basil over. Drizzle with the extra virgin olive oil, and a small amount of the aged balsamic. Serve.
