Ingredients

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!
