Ingredients

  • 3 burrata cheeses
  • 3-4 tbsp of ‘Nduja
  • 3 tbsp parmigiano reggiano shredded large
  • 3 tbsp fresh parsley
  • 1 clove garlic
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Chargrilled ciabatta bread for serving

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Put the garlic, parsley and lemon zest in a small pile on a cutting board and finely chop it until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. A Mezzaluna (half moon) Italian knife makes this super easy but you could also use a knife.
  2. Drizzle a little olive oil in a non stick pan and fry the ‘Nduja until slightly crispy (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Arrange the burrata cheese on a serving plate and top with a grated Parmigiano Reggiano, a couple of spoonfuls of ‘Nduja and then sprinkle over some gremolata.
  4. Serve with char-grilled ciabatta bread.

Notes

  • Take the burrata out of the fridge around 30 minutes before serving so it's not too cold.
  • You can make as much or as little of this as you like. If you're just serving this for two people 1 burrata is usually enough but if serving for a crowd I'd go for 3 burrata cheeses.
  • Don't buy 'Nduja if it's sold in a jar it's too pureed and doesn't taste great.
  • Don't add any olive oil to the gremolata you should be able to sprinkle it over the burrata (see photo 4 above)
  • There's no need to add any salt to the recipe because the parmesan and 'Nduja are already well seasoned.
