Burrata with Charred Greens
INGREDIENTS:
For 4 serves:
Salsa verde
-
1/4 cup flat leaf parsley
-
1/4 cup basil, leaves picked
-
1 garlic clove, crushed
-
80mls olive oil
-
Finely grated zest of 1/2 lemon and juice of 1 lemon
-
1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
-
generous pinch of salt
-
Cracked black pepper
-
3 zucchini, cut in half width wise and then quartered lengthways
-
1 bunch long green spring onions, trimmed (approx. 4-5 spring onions)
-
1 burrata
-
Roasted chopped hazelnuts, to serve
DIRECTIONS:
-
To make the salsa verde, place parsley, basil, garlic, olive oil, lemon zest, half the lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper in a food processor and blend until well combined but a little chunky. Transfer to a bowl, cover surface directly with cling film and set aside.
-
Heat a chargrill pan (or just a normal pan) to high heat. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil and then begin to grill/char your zucchini and shallots for 3-5 minutes each side or until charred and just tender. NOTE: You will have to do this in batches as you don't want to over crowd the pan! In between batches you can add a little more olive oil but try not to use too much otherwise it will get too oily. Once you're finished with the first batch just place them on a plate lined with kitchen roll to remove some of the excess oil.
-
Once you've finished grilling everything, transfer the zucchini and shallots to a serving platter and top with burrata. Drizzle with the salsa verde and scatter with the toasted hazelnuts to serve.
