Stracciatella :
Confit tomatoes:
This is stracciatella, AKA the middle of the burrata - and you can make it with just two ingredients: mozzarella and cream. This version is topped with jammy confit tomatoes and fragrant fresh basil - a caprese dip, if you will.
Method
Shred the mozzarella into thin strands (the more you shred, the creamier it’ll be!).
Put the mozzarella in a bowl, pour over the double cream, and season with salt.
Cover and chill in the fridge for 1–2 hours until thick and creamy, like the centre of a burrata.
Heat the oven to 180°C.
In a baking dish, add cherry tomatoes, garlic cloves, and thyme. Cover with olive oil.
Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour.
Remove from the oven, discard the foil, and scatter over fresh basil.
To serve, spoon the stracciatella into a shallow bowl, top with the confit tomatoes, more fresh basil, and black pepper. Serve with warm focaccia.
