A SHOW-STOPPING STARTER THAT LETS THE OIL SHINE.

SERVES: 4 / TIME: 20 MINUTES

Ingredients:

• 2 Ball of burrata cheese, room temperature

• 2 Cups seedless black grapes

• 2 tsp flaky sea salt

• 1 Handful fresh basil leaves

• 1 tbsp aged balsamic vinegar

• 3-4 tbsp Tara Iti Olive Oil

• Cracked black pepper to taste

• Rustic sourdough for serving

Method:

  1. Heat a skillet or grill pan on high until nearly smoking. Add grapes and sear until their skins begin to blister and caramalise (about 3-5 minutes)
  2. Transfer grapes to a platter. Gently tear burrata and nestle among the grapes. 
  3. Add basil leaves, a drizzle of balsamic, plenty of fresh ground pepper, and a luxurious pour of Tara Iti Olive Oil
  4. Serve with crusty sourdough, lightly warmed

This dish is all about contrast – cool cream, smoky fruit, sharp vinegar, and the buttery finish of the oil tying it all together.
