Chicken Cutlets With Burrata And Melted Baby Tomato Sauce Recipes

TOMATOES AND BURRATA

Steps:

• Cut the ball of cheese in half crosswise and place the halves, cut side down, on 2 salad plates. Cut each tomato in half through the stem end and distribute them around the burrata. Drizzle the tomatoes and burrata generously with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper. Scatter the basil on the salads, sprinkle with fleur de sel, and serve with Garlic Toasts.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Slice the baguette diagonally into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Depending on the size of the baguette, you should get 20 to 25 slices.
• Lay the slices in one layer on a baking sheet, brush each with olive oil, and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Bake the toasts for 15 to 20 minutes, until they are browned and crisp. As soon as they are cool enough to handle, rub one side of the toasts with the cut side of the garlic. Serve at room temperature.

FUSILLI WITH GRAPE TOMATOES AND BURRATA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs for al dente. Reserve 3/4 cup cooking water and then drain.
• Meanwhile, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until just starting to brown, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and a big pinch of salt and cook, without stirring, until the tomatoes start to blister and split, 1 to 2 minutes. Continue cooking, stirring and gently smashing the tomatoes, until they break down, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in the red pepper flakes.
• Add the pasta and 1/2 cup of the cooking water to the tomatoes. Cook over medium-high heat, gently stirring, until the pasta is well coated, 1 to 2 minutes. Add more cooking water if the pasta is dry; season with salt.
• Divide the pasta among shallow bowls. Carefully cut the burrata into quarters and place on top of the pasta. Lightly season the burrata with salt and pepper and drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle with the oregano.
