Preparation of the Buffalo Tomato Burrata

1. Prepare the tomato:

  1. Gently wash the large tomato under cold running water and pat dry.
  2. Cut the tomato into 4 equal wedges without going all the way to the bottom, so that it remains attached and forms an open "flower" base.
  3. Place in the center of a large dish or soup plate.

2. Prepare the burrata :

  1. Drain the burratas and leave to cool at room temperature for a few minutes to reveal their creamy texture.
  2. Carefully cut each burrata in half and arrange the pieces around or in the center of the tomato, respecting the "flower" shape.

3. Add seasonings:

  1. Generously drizzle vanilla oil over the tomatoes and burrata.
  2. Add a dash of lemon juice for a light acidity.
  3. Sprinkle with fleur de sel, black pepper and toasted sesame seeds.

4. Sublimate the dish:

  1. Arrange the Parmesan shavings harmoniously over the tomato and around the burrata.
  2. Add a few licorice basil leaves for an aromatic touch and a slightly aniseed note.

 

 

Tips and original ideas for presentation

1. Giant flower" effect:

Serve the tomato on a large white or slate plate to accentuate the color contrast. Place the burratas between the tomato wedges for an impressive visual effect.

2. Shared plate :

Arrange the whole tomato and burratas on a platter in the center of the table. Add a few slices of toast or breadsticks to accompany this shareable appetizer.

3. Flavor customization :

For a creative twist, add a hint of grated orange zest to the Parmesan and a few drops of reduced balsamic to intensify the flavours.
