Fried Burrata over Romesco Sauce
Description
Fried Burrata over Romesco Sauce features a burrata ball coated in flour, egg, and panko breadcrumbs then double-dipped in egg and panko for extra crispiness before frying until golden. The romesco sauce blends roasted red bell peppers, slivered almonds, tomato paste, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and fresh herbs into a smooth, warm accompaniment. Serving the fried burrata over this sauce combines a creamy cheese center with a crunchy exterior and a tangy, nutty sauce that balances the richness. Fresh basil leaves provide herbal freshness as garnish, and toasted crostini on the side offer a crunchy vessel for enjoying the dish.

Instructions
- Burrata: Pour flour, egg and panko into their own shallow dishes and set them up in that order. Dredge ball of burrata in flour, dusting off any excess. Next dredge the ball in the beaten egg followed by the panko. Dredge ball back into the beaten egg, then back into the panko for a double coating. Place ball on a small, parchment lined plate and place in freezer for 10-15 minutes.
- Romesco Sauce: Place all ingredients into a food processor or blender, season with salt and pepper and blend until smooth. Pour mixture into a saucepan and simmer until warm or hot, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Fill a tall saucepan with about 4 inches oil and heat to 350˚F.
- Carefully fry burrata in oil for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oil and transfer to a paper towel lined plate. Lightly season with salt and pepper.
- Assemble: Pour romesco sauce into a shallow bowl and place fried burrata into center or sauce. Top with fresh basil leaves and serve with toasted crostini.
