4-5 medium heirloom tomatoes (different colours if possible)
2 balls fresh burrata
2 tbsp pesto (homemade or good quality store-bought)
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 shallot, thinly sliced
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tbsp Balsamic vinegar or glaze
Sea salt flakes
Cracked black pepper
Fresh basil leaves
Crusty bread, for serving (toasted or fresh)
Optional: a few toasted pine nuts for texture
Place the sliced shallot in a small bowl with red wine vinegar and a pinch of salt. Set aside to lightly pickle (10–15 minutes).
Step 2
Slice the tomatoes into thick rounds and arrange on a serving plate. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Tear the burrata in half and gently place over the tomatoes.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the pesto with the olive oil to create a loose drizzle.
Step 5
Spoon the pesto oil generously over the burrata and tomatoes.
Step 6
Add the pickled shallots, a few toasted pine nuts (if using), and season with a little more cracked black pepper.
Step 7
Drizzle Balsamic vinegar or glaze to taste.
Step 8
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately
EDIT: **My own notes**. I, too, was disappointed that he doesn’t show *how* to make burrata in this video, so my next project will be to find a video, edit it, and make it a gif demonstrating how to make burrata at home. I’ve only done it once, but it’s not that hard assuming you have quality dairy products.
