Burrata, Nectarines and Black Pepper Honey
Sweet, jammy stone fruit against cold, milky burrata, with a warm honey sharpened by black pepper and lemon. Four ingredients doing exactly what they do best.
- Vegetarian
Method
Warm the honey with the pepper in a small pan for 1 minute, until loose and fragrant. Take off the heat and stir in the lemon juice.
Heat a griddle or frying pan until very hot and char the nectarine wedges for 1 minute on each side, just until marked. (For a raw version, skip this step.)
Tear the burrata onto a plate, letting the creamy centre ooze.
Arrange the nectarines around the cheese, spoon over the pepper honey and olive oil, then season with flaky salt and scatter with herbs.
Serve immediately with bread.
Serving ideas
A show-off starter for a summer supper. Pair with prosciutto if you want to turn it into something more substantial.
