Roasted garlic and tomato burrata

Food, like fashion, goes through trends. And, one of the biggest trends right now is burrata. Ooey, gooey, mild yet creamy and tasty – I for one have jumped completely onboard the burrata train. And this time it’s a roasted garlic and tomato burrata on toast that is made to share (or devour yourself).

Roasted garlic and tomato burrata

I actually posted this recipe already but without one key ingredient – garlic! Oh my gosh, the backlash I got from not doing a recipe with garlic was swift and fast. “Where is the garlic!” my loyal fans called, drowning out the usual “wow do you own a garlic shop?” commentary that my posts tend to get. So, if the garlic girlies want garlic, the garlic girlies will get some garlic.

Tomatoes

Here we go again! It’s coming up to summer in Australia so tomatoes are coming into season and I am all about that tomatoey sweet goodness. I use cherry tomatoes in this because they’re little pops of flavour that roast so nicely.

Burrata

It used to be hard to find burrata but now it’s even in your normal supermarkets! Although this time there isn’t a huge amount of ingredients in the recipe so it might be time to splurge a little and get the really nice stuff from your local deli.

But, in all honesty, even bad burrata is good burrata.

Technique for roasted garlic and tomato burrata

This is such a simple dish. It’s just pop it in the oven and let it do its thing. Patience goes a long way! 

There will be an excess amount of oil that the tomatoes and garlic cooked in but this is not to go to waste! You can add it in the bowl when served with the burrata but I like to scoop two thirds of it out and store in a little jar that lives on my kitchen countertop. I fry my sourdough with it or use it in any recipe that calls for olive oil as it has a lovely tomato and garlic flavour. 

FAQ for roasted tomato and garlic burrata

Can I add other ingredients to this? What about bread?

Yes! Like so many of my other recipes, this is the base to make your own. You can add as much seasoning or flavour to this as you like such as thyme or rosemary for the garlic and tomatoes to bake in or a drizzle of balsamic glaze but I like to keep it simple. 

What about bread?

Like all my recipes, a light fry on the bread to make it a tasty flavourful toast that isn’t too powerful so that the flavour in the dish really takes precedence.
