Ingredients

  • 4large tomatoes
  • 200gsmooth pesto
  • 4 dinky burrata
  • to drizzleolive oil
  • to scattersalt

All you need is a giant syringe (you know, the one you have lying around at home), some pesto and some quite large tomatoes. This really is a very simple recipe, and it actually works - the burrata stops the pesto from cooking, which we all know is gross.

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C. Hollow out the tomatoes (being careful not to pierce their skin) and use the giant syringe to suck up the pesto. If you don't have one, use a piping bag!
  • Place the burrata in the tomato and cut a little hole in the top, then start squeezing in the pesto.
  • Place the burrata tomatoes on a baking tray and bake for around 20 mins until softened.
  • Eat! With crusty bread, or as part of a delicious antipasti spread.
  • What do you think of the recipe?
