Burrata with Grilled Nectarines and Pistachios
·Prepping the sweet nectarines
Start by cutting ripe nectarines into eighths. In a bowl, gently toss them with olive oil, a pinch of salt, freshly ground pepper and a little sugar so they caramelize beautifully while cooking.
Caramelizing the fruit in the pan
Heat a pan over medium heat. Carefully add the coated nectarine wedges and let them sear briefly on each side until golden. The sugar will melt beautifully and the nectarines will start smelling amazing.
Serving with creamy burrata
Gently tear the fresh burrata onto a plate so its creamy center oozes slightly. Arrange the still-warm, caramelized nectarine pieces attractively on top. This forms the base for the perfect bite.
Final seasoning and garnish
Slice fresh basil into thin strips and sprinkle it over the nectarines. Drizzle everything with good-quality balsamic vinegar and a squeeze of lemon juice. Finish with chopped pistachios for a perfect crunch. Enjoy!
