Burratta And Broad Beans Recipe
I planted broad beans a couple of months ago, and they have done very well. I also love burratta and thought it would be good to eat with a seasonal and very local product. This burratta and broad beans recipe is easily put together and will make a wonderful starter.
I was very luckly with my broad bean plans this year. I put very little effort into them and yet they seem to want to produce lots of beautiful broad beans. All I have to do is to think of new and interesting way to eat them. I can sincerely say this is a wonderful way to spend a Sunday. For this broad beans recipe, I had the beans cooking within 1o min of cutting them from the plant. That is food at its very best and I wish you to know that pleasure soon if you don’t already.
I bought the burratta in my beloved Fallon & Byrne. Their cheesemongers are friendly and knowledgable and after many years of shopping there, I am yet to be disappointed by their cheese selection.
This burrata and broad beans recipe can also make a delicious light lunch if you’re lucky enough to work from home. It takes 15 min to prepare and you will have most of the ingredients in the pantry. The only thing you must remember to do is to take the burratta out of the fridge at least 45 min before you serve the dish. Its delicate flavour develops best at room temperature.
