Method

You’ll need: griddle pan · chopping board · knife

1. Take the burrata out of its liquid and place it on a plate. Wash the peaches, stone them and cut them into wedges.
2. Heat a griddle pan until hot and dry-fry the peaches without any fat until they take on a roasted flavour and soften at the edges.
3. Arrange the peaches around the burrata and gently open the top of the burrata.
4. Drizzle the burrata and peaches with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Tear the basil leaves and scatter them over.
5. Season with fleur de sel and black pepper and scatter over the pine nuts.

Good to know

Some plates don't need much to feel special. Here warm meets creamy and sweet meets savoury – and that's exactly what makes it so lovely.

Swaps

Peaches → apricots (a little less sugar, similarly aromatic) Pine nuts → walnuts (more omega-3 fatty acids, more satisfying) Balsamic vinegar → lemon juice (less sugar, fresher flavour) Burrata → buffalo mozzarella or skyr (less saturated fat, more protein depending on your choice)

Allergens

Contains milk and pine nuts. Usually fine for children, but not suitable for anyone with a nut or seed allergy; during pregnancy, pasteurised burrata is the safe choice.

Frequently asked questions

What nutrients are in burrata?

Burrata mainly provides protein, calcium and vitamin B12. Depending on how it's made, it also contains a fair share of saturated fat.

What do peaches bring nutritionally?

Peaches contain vitamin C, some beta-carotene and various polyphenols. Their fibre content is fairly moderate but adds to the dish as a whole.

Is basil more than just flavour?

Yes, basil contains vitamin K plus small amounts of essential oils and polyphenols, among others. The amount you eat is usually small, so its nutritional contribution stays modest.

What should you know about pine nuts?

Pine nuts provide unsaturated fatty acids and magnesium. If you have a nut or seed allergy, though, they can be a problem.

Is balsamic vinegar always a good idea if you have a sensitive stomach?

Not necessarily – acetic acid can irritate the stomach or trigger reflux in some people. If you react to it, simply use a little less.
