For the Pistachio-Mortadella Pesto
60 g roasted pistachios, shelled 🟢
70 g thinly sliced mortadella, torn into pieces 🍖
1 small garlic clove
20 g grated Parmigiano Reggiano 🧀
60 ml extra virgin olive oil 🫒
Zest of ½ lemon 🍋
Freshly cracked black pepper 🖤
For the Tomatoes & Burrata
250 g cherry tomatoes 🍅
1 tbsp olive oil
Pinch of salt
1 large burrata (about 200–250 g) 🧀
Basil leaves or microgreens, to garnish 🌿
Extra chopped pistachios, for topping
Instructions
The warm roasted tomatoes burst with sweetness, the pesto is velvety and savory, and the burrata? Creamy beyond belief. 🍅🧀
🔥 Roast the tomatoes: Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F). Toss cherry tomatoes with olive oil and salt. Spread on a tray and roast for 15–20 minutes until blistered and juicy. Set aside.
🥣 Make the pesto: In a food processor, combine pistachios, mortadella, garlic, Parmesan, and lemon zest. Pulse until finely chopped. Slowly stream in olive oil until creamy but textured. Season with black pepper to taste.
🧀 Plate the burrata: Place the burrata in the center of a shallow serving dish. Spoon the pesto generously over the top, letting it cascade down the sides.
🍅 Add tomatoes: Scatter warm roasted tomatoes around the burrata.
🌿 Garnish: Sprinkle with extra chopped pistachios and fresh basil or microgreens.
🥖 Serve: With crusty bread or focaccia for scooping!
