Burrata with stone fruit
Summertime means a lot of different things to all of us. For me, I enjoy being elbows deep in peach juice. The East Coast isn't quite like the West when it comes to access to produce, so stone fruit is something I look forward to year after year.
Something I did not grow up with is burrata. But no worries, I'm making up for lost time.
What is burrata? Burrata is a lot like fresh mozzarella, but with a cream filled center. Once you cut through the skin of the cheese, the oozy center flows out. It's so simple and delightful.
And I think burrata goes really well with stone fruit. So try putting it together. You don't need this exact combination of fruit, but see what's new at your supermarket and try them out in this quick recipe below.
Burrata with stone fruit (serves two)
1 peach, pitted + sliced
6 cherries, cut in half + pitted
Fresh currants
2 balls of burrata
2 tablespoons balsamic
Fresh mint
Place the burrata in a bowl (you can also split this between two bowls like I did!).
Split the burrata in half, allowing the center to ooze out.
Top with the peaches, cherries + currants. Pour the balsamic over everything + garnish with fresh mint.
Devour.
