Instructions

Preparation

  • Roast the peppers until charred, either under a broiler or over a gas flame. Cover with foil or place in a bowl for 10 minutes to steam after roasting.
  • Peel the skins and deseed the peppers once they have steamed.

Assembling Burrata Bombs

  • Place one roasted pepper on a clean surface, lay a burrata ball in the center, and fold the pepper around it ensuring the seam is on the bottom.
  • Repeat this process until all burrata is wrapped.

Making the Pistachio-Chili Crumble

  • In a skillet over medium heat, toast the pistachios, panko (if using), chili flakes, and smoked paprika with olive oil, stirring for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  • Allow to cool slightly.

Assembling the Dish

  • Arrange the pepper-wrapped burrata on a plate and sprinkle the pistachio-chili crumble generously over the top.

Garnishing and Serving

  • Garnish with microgreens or basil and drizzle with honey or balsamic glaze, sprinkling flaky salt just before serving.

Notes

Ensure you let the peppers steam for easier peeling. Let the crumble cool slightly for crunch.
