Peaches, Tomatoes, Burrata, Honey, Mint, Chili & Pickled Onions
Peaches, Tomatoes, Burrata, Honey, Chili, Pickled Onions and Mint
It’s a lazy August Sunday indeed so this recipe requires minimum prep, and is customizable for what’s accessible to you. I don’t tend to gravitate to social media trends, but I cannot lie this dish is totally social media inspired because it takes two of my favorite ingredients: Tomatoes and Peaches!
It’s a recipe you throw together with any local type of tomato that is just sweet as can be, with any variety of peach at it’s peak, juicy ripeness. Great as a main light meal or as a side to grilled meat or seafood. As if tomatoes and peaches aren’t enough to make your palate dance, my spin on this combo has honey, mint, pickled onions, chili and some burrata to just tie it all together. It’s as easy as that!

Ingredients:
A couple of peaches and tomatoesHoneyBurrataPickled Red OnionsFresh Italian Chili, slicedFresh Mint, choppedEVOO as neededNote: the key to this recipe is using local tomatoes and peaches that are at their peak ripeness. Feel free to mix and match as you like. I always have pickled red onions in my fridge. Take a red onion, thinly slice, cover with red wine vinegar, cover and leave in fridge. In a couple of hours they turn a beautiful vibrant pink, and are great to have on hand on days like this to add to your dishes.
Mise En Place
Method:
Slice your tomatoes and peaches. Layer both on a plate. Take the burrata, tear it into pieces by hand, and layer on the tomatoes/peaches. For best results take your burrata out of the fridge 10 to 15 min before plating. Drizzle EVOO, some honey, then add the remaining ingredients. Eat as a main, with grilled slices of bread or as a side to grilled meat or seafood.
