Coppa and Burrata, and where to source it

Coppa and Burrata — 5best2buy.com 5BEST2BUY.COM Coppa and Burrata Italian 5best2buy.com

This is two ingredients playing off each other, so both need to be right and at the right temperature. Let the burrata sit out about thirty minutes so the center is loose and oozing when you tear it open. Drape thin coppa over the top so its spiced fat melts into the cream, then finish with aged balsamic and toasted pine nuts for sweetness and crunch.

The ratioLet the burrata warm 30 minutes so it oozes, then drape the coppa so its fat melts into the cream.

The Method
  1. Warm the burrataSet the burrata out about 30 minutes before serving. Fridge-cold it stays firm, and warming it is what makes the center run.
  2. Toast the pine nutsToast the pine nuts in a dry pan until golden and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Watch them, since they scorch fast.
  3. Tear and drapeSet the burrata on a plate, tear it open so the cream spills, and drape the thin coppa over the top so its fat softens into the cream.
  4. Finish and scoopScatter pine nuts and basil, add a few drops of aged balsamic, and serve with grilled bread.
