... wrapped in leeks. I was really excited to try this cheese after seeing it on Lidia's show, so I served it exactly as she did:
... on top of grilled bread nestled in broccoli rabe sauteed with garlic and a drizzle of olive oil. I couldn't wait to cut into the cheese and see the oozing, creamy center but unfortunately our burrata didn't ooze. In fact, the center was mostly solid. It still had that creamy, buttery flavor, but the "wow" factor was missing.
I served this as a first course before we ate the rollatini. Everyone enjoyed it, but I think I need to find a market that sells it freshly made.
Beautiful dish!
ReplyDeleteOh my god...that looks beautiful! I cannot WAIT to see if my town's market will order it for us! I come from an all Italian-American town, so they should have it! If not, I'll totally repremand them! haha
ReplyDeleteKatie - Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLiv - Hopefully you can find it. Like I said, I was disappointed that the center wasn't more liquidy, but hopefully you can find a fresher product because of where you live.
I think you and SP need some cows...or at least one so that you can make your own cheeses.
ReplyDeletethis does look really nice. I have never heard of burrata before. I wonder if claro's has it - I think I need to find out!
ReplyDeletelonghair - No! That would be bad. We eat enough cheese as it is. :P
ReplyDeleteMelissa - I'm sure they do, from what you've said about them. If you find it, let me know!
