Grilled Tomatoes And Burrata Recipes

GRILLED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Drizzle the olive oil over the cut sides of the tomatoes, and sprinkle with garlic, salt, and black pepper.
• Place tomatoes, cut sides up, onto the preheated grill, and grill until the tomatoes start to sizzle and show blackened grill marks, about 4 minutes. Flip the tomatoes over and grill until the garlic turns golden brown, about 3 more minutes.

TOMATOES AND BURRATA

Steps:

• Cut the ball of cheese in half crosswise and place the halves, cut side down, on 2 salad plates. Cut each tomato in half through the stem end and distribute them around the burrata. Drizzle the tomatoes and burrata generously with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper. Scatter the basil on the salads, sprinkle with fleur de sel, and serve with Garlic Toasts.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Slice the baguette diagonally into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Depending on the size of the baguette, you should get 20 to 25 slices.
• Lay the slices in one layer on a baking sheet, brush each with olive oil, and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Bake the toasts for 15 to 20 minutes, until they are browned and crisp. As soon as they are cool enough to handle, rub one side of the toasts with the cut side of the garlic. Serve at room temperature.

GRILLED GREEN TOMATOES WITH BURRATA AND GREEN JUICE

Steps:

• Green juice:
• Blend romaine, cucumber, kale, cilantro, and 1/4 cup water in a blender until fairly smooth, about 1 minute. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl or measuring glass, pressing on solids to release as much liquid as possible; you should have about 1/2 cup. (Alternatively, you can do this step in a juicer.) Stir in lime juice and season with salt. Taste and adjust flavor with more lime juice, if needed.
• Tomatoes and assembly:
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss bread with 2 tablespoons oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with kosher salt. Bake, tossing halfway through, until golden brown and crisp, 6-8 minutes. Let bread cool, then gently crush with a flat-bottomed measuring cup into smaller pieces.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat or heat a grill pan over medium-high. Brush tomatoes on both sides with 1 tablespoon oil and grill until softened and lightly charred, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to plates and drizzle with vinegar, 1/3 cup green juice, and 1 tablespoon oil. Season with kosher salt and pepper and top with burrata.
• Toss scallions, jalapeno, almonds, breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons green juice, and remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a medium bowl; season with kosher salt and pepper. Add cilantro and toss again to bring everything together.
• Scatter scallion mixture evenly over tomatoes and burrata; drizzle with oil and sprinkle with sea salt.

GRILLED TOMATOES AND BURRATA

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. It's best to use a grill basket, but if you don't have one, oil the grill grates.
• Cut the tomatoes in half crosswise and brush with 4 tablespoons of the olive oil. Place the tomatoes cut-side down on the grill (or grill basket) and cook until the tomatoes are softened and charred, about 4 minutes. Flip once and continue to cook for 1 to 2 minutes more. The tomatoes should be tender.
• Place the tomatoes in a serving bowl cut-side up and season generously with salt and pepper. Place the burrata in the center of the tomatoes and cut in half. Garnish with the basil and oregano. Sprinkle with lemon zest and drizzle with the balsamic glaze and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Serve with crusty bread.
