Burrata with Roasted Tomatoes, Garlic, and Basil
Burrata with Roasted Tomatoes, Garlic, and Basil is simple and pretty, and also delicious.
4 cups small cherry tomatoes
1 head of garlic, separated into unpeeled cloves
¼ cup olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
5 sprigs fresh thyme
2 cups arugula
8 ounces burrata
1 bunch fresh basil
Crackers and or baguette slices
Preheat the oven to 275 degrees. Place the tomatoes and garlic in a glass baking dish. Add the oil, salt, pepper, and thyme sprigs and use your hands to toss everything together. Roast for 1 hour.
Place the burrata on a serving platter and surround it with the arugula. Top the arugula with the large whole basil leaves. Use your fingers to squeeze the garlic cloves out of the peels. Toss with the roasted tomatoes and the cooking oil. Spoon the tomatoes, garlic, and the oil from the baking dish around and on top of the burrata. Garnish with the small basil leaves, some thyme leaves and sprigs, and a generous sprinkle of kosher salt and pepper. Serve with crackers or slices of baguette.
