  • Burrata and tomato salad

    “Surprisingly tasty”

    Ingredients

    • Bag of interesting salad leaves
      (something like rocket/spinach/julienned beetroot whatevs, not just a bag of boring iceberg nonsense)
    • Fresh basil leaves
    • Olive oil
    • Balsamic vinegar
    • Massive vine tomatoes
    • Little yellow tomatoes
    • Salt and pepper
    • Parma ham
    • Burrata
    • Balsamic glaze

    Method

    • Get a large mixing bowl
    • Mix the interesting leaves with the basil leaves
    • If you can be bothered, emulsify the oil and vinegar and pour it over the leaves. Otherwise just dress them separately.
    • Evenly distribute leaves across the plate so it forms a nice mattress of leafy goodness
    • Slice the vine tomatoes into slices
    • Cut the yellow tomatoes in half
    • Arrange the tomatoes on the leaves so it looks nice, or something
    • Season the tomatoes. Drizzle some olive oil if you want?
    • Arrange the parma ham around the stuff
    • Cut the burrata in half, plonk it in the middle
    • Drizzle some balsamic glaze over the whole thing
    • Finely chop some basil leaves and sprinkle over

  • Courgetti

    Yes, the day I wrote this was a sad day.

    Ingredients

    • Courgettes

    Method

    • Spiralise
    • Don’t add salt
    • Spread it out over a plate
      Single layer if possible, so not in a bowl, and not covered
    • Microwave for 60 seconds. No more.
    • Squeeze
      Ideally wrung out in a tea towel. Hands will do otherwise.
      Objective is to get as much water out as possible.
    • Add it to your dish/sauce/whatever.
