Chef Aaron Clyne from the Bruce Craft House meets with our Sean Furfaro to make a tasty, good for you, grilled peach, heirloom tomato, and burrata salad on this month’s ‘Dine with Clyne’.
Sean ffar here back with another episode of dying with Klein with my friend Aaron Klein and Aaron traditionally you take us all around the world and we learn all about different cultures and different flavors but today we’re actually staying home in Ontario and using everything that’s in season right now so tell me
What we’re doing we are going to do a grilled Peach heirloom tomato and barata salad which is amazing cuz at the time we’re shooting this right now these tomatoes are just in season the peaches are just coming off the trees this is a wonderful wonderful time here in Ontario
And I love that you’ve got something highlighting everything yeah it’s uh it’s quite a sensational time to be in Ontario and the produce is unreal awesome so let’s get started okay so we’re going to start off we’re going to take uh these lovely Ontario peaches uh
We’re going to give them a just a quick grill on the uh on the the barbecue uh what I like about that it adds a little bit of smokiness uh to the salad softens them up a little bit and then when they’re this sweet and floral and fragrant they’re just it it just
Accentuates that uh that I don’t know that peachin it’s awesome yeah a lot of people are gun shy about um grilling fruit but really you shouldn’t be afraid of it right there’s just so much that can be added to the the texture and the flavors of the fruit as you just
Explained yeah so do you put anything on these before you go I’m just putting a little bit of oil and a little pinch of salt that is it um again if you think your peaches are going to be a hair under ripe which they really aren’t this
Time of year you can add a pinch of sugar if you’d like um little uh secret afterwards we’re not going to do it for this salad but I’ve actually fomed off a little bit of peach knops with a touch of sugar and tossed them in there just
Just a little post grill glaze yeah yeah absolutely so how long do you grill these for uh we’re going to grill these for maybe 2 minutes just until they get some nice Char on them all right to the grill all right so the peaches are off the grill we’ve got our beautiful
Grilled peaches here yeah we got that lovely caramelization on there um so we’re we’re going to let those sit and kind of rest and just cool down a little bit uh we’re going to move these to the side I’ll put those I got it and if there’s you know less than yeah no
Problem I just just one of those beautiful Niagra peaches so we got these uh gorgeous heirloom tomatoes and and feel free to use you know any shape size color uh that you want uh so we have some uh black Tomatoes some heirloom cherry tomatoes and just some uh Bosco
Farms uh Tomatoes here and we’re just going to cut them in different sizes different variations yep um it all works towards plating and like said there’s no definition to what size you need right cuz you’ve got full size you’ve got Cherry grape size you’ve got the cocktail size there yeah absolutely you
Just use whatever you’ve got if you grow them at home that would be awesome too you know you just uh want to get uh some variations in there that’s uh kind of the the fun of it when you’re eating it you get to try all the different kinds
Of tomato so I’m going to do some some wedges a couple of different wedges so it feels like the core of this that you’re basing is kind of like a Capra Sal really the combination of the tomato and some form of mozzarella you said we’re using a Bara and there’s some fresh
Basil and some balsamic I see here so really this is just a we’re incorporating some fruit but also just taking some Liberties it’s not a traditional Capra salad yeah absolutely and again it’s all about again cooking is a feeling it’s all about kind of doing what what works for you what you
Have access to yeah um I’m going to let you try one of these These are unbelievable this is an heirloom varietal of tomato uh they call it a black tomato it’s red on the inside this tastes like a tomato should taste that’s delicious that’s it’s an explosion of
Flavor so again your Farmers Market has all of these your you know your local farms if you head out to the local Farm um has all of these uh in stock right now and also this area we we live in too like you not only does your Farmers
Market have it but you have choices you have options when you’re there there are so many options some of the best groceries that I do I do at the end of a driveway on a on a on a Farm out in the country right when I know that that
Farms that go to the market on weekends are still selling their product at the end of their driveway during the week yeah Y and I mean you know there’s lots of people coming back from codes and things like that lots of those right on the side roads when you see the roadside
Stand that has tomatoes and garlic make sure you stop have a have a fist full of cash on you so we’re just going to and not as much as you think actually no no I’m just me yeah have small bills five or two cuz if you’ve only got 20s you’re not getting
Change so again I just like to build this salad out um with just little pieces and elements everywhere so again it’s fun to try the different uh though they all kind of tastes like tomato they all taste like varing types of tomato different levels of sweetness different
Levels of uh of uh you know tart or or floral notes so again just just use whatever you got got access to and don’t uh don’t be afraid to kind of load them in there if you’re going to eat this this is a great hot day this what we’re
Experiencing today you know we get uh they say you don’t make friends with salad I make friends with this you sure I bet you do because right now just looking at this the way you’ve just rough chopped these randomly yeah right this already with before adding anything
Else to it is is beautiful in it’s asymmetry right now it’s you don’t need the perfectly sliced tomato and the perfectly sliced piece of cheese for your layered salad across right that’s faned out you just something like this it’s all going to taste the same yeah absolutely we’re just going to cut up
Those peaches which are still a little bit warm from the grill um which you know tomatoes and the Bara room temperature of the salad is is beautiful if I go off camera it’s only because I’m eating what peaches he doesn’t use right now this smells amazing so we’re just
Going to layer these guys in just like this and the best part is you don’t need to add sugar to these you don’t need to add they’re all ripe it’s all perfectly in season right now and so the grilling actually brings out more of the sugar right yeah you start to car that
Caramelization you see there yeah we have uh your favorite barata your favorite cheese here so a whole lot of barata all right you want to tell them about the Bara well I mean the barata at my understanding it’s a it’s a mozzarella cheese it’s essentially mozzarella family the Fior deatte
Mozzarella if you kept if you didn’t fully mold it in the ball and you just keep the outer form the soft curd on the inside becomes this cream so this is a a harder cheese on the outside but a softer cheese on the a creamy cheese on the inside but essentially the same
Cheese yeah just with different cultures and different um preparation yeah very rich very delicate quite quite delicious again you can find these at uh at your local uh your local farmers market we’re going to add in uh do you want to just pick a couple of the small pieces of
Basil there for me please get the Italian to pick the basil play to your strengths yeah what do you want Aaron three or four yeah sure for sure okay we’re just going to layer those in there and uh go just as full or oh yeah just full if you want to
Tear any of the big guys in in there we’ll just layer that around go um and what I’m going to actually accent this with um you can get this this time of year too is a beautiful honeycomb so we’re actually just going to put a couple pieces of this
Lovely there lovely honeycomb in there oh that’s gorgeous we going to call this uh d d with Sean dine with Shan yeah maybe we’ll do one of my recipes down the road yeah for sure that would be a great uh great thing this honeycomb is just like
Pure pure awesome it’s almost candy it really is just a couple pieces of that in there and then we’re just going to finish we got a lot of these lovely local edible flowers they just kind of add some color what we’re going to do is
We’re going to put that on there got a little bit of uh sea salt and this is from Vancouver Island we’re just going to put that on there when I do my barata there’s always a coarse sea salt right on top it just the Crunch and the salt
Then we have a 9-year age balsamic so you can use balsamic glaze just a nice aged balsamic vinegar Medina you can do it without the I mean the balsamic is going to add a lot but I mean even without it that’s a beautiful salad as
Is and then we’re just going to put a little bit of that you can put a little bit of olive oil on there if you’d like but this is this is exactly how I love to eat this nice grilled Peach salad for the uh the summer with heirloom tomato
And barata so as we celebrate the end of summer and everything that’s in season on dime with Klein we have a grilled Peach and heon tomato barata salad on Dy with Klein thanks again so much Erin thank you
