Burrata, strawberry, passion fruit and pineapple sambal with watercress salad
YOU WILL NEED
2 burrata cheese balls
1 pineapple
200g strawberries, chopped
3g ginger, minced
4 garlic cloves, minced
4 red chillies, finely chopped 80g caster sugar
2 passion fruit pulps
1 lime, juiced
1 tsp white miso
1 tbsp fresh coriander, finely chopped
200g watercress salt For the confetti
50g cashews
20g dried pineapple, made from the fresh pineapple
10g freeze-dried strawberries
DIRECTIONS
■ Start with the confetti. Heat the oven to 160°C/Gas Mark 3. Roast the cashews for 15 minutes then remove from the oven and set aside.
■ To make the dried pineapple, slice half the pineapple as finely as you can – use a mandoline if you have one. Lay the slices on baking paper, set the oven to its lowest temperature, then bake for 4 hours, or until crisp throughout. Set aside to cool.
■ Take 20g of the dried pineapple and blitz to a ‘confetti’ with the freeze-dried strawberries and roasted cashews. Set aside in an airtight container.
■ Chop the remaining pineapple into chunks and grill in a griddle pan until lightly charred and soft.
■ For the sambal, combine the strawberries, ginger, garlic, chillies, sugar, passion fruit, lime, miso, coriander and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Taste it to check that it is tangy, sweet, spicy and lightly salted. Adjust with more lime, sugar or salt if needed.
■ When ready, divide each burrata ball into two. Divide the watercress and sambal between 4 bowls and top with the burrata and grilled pineapple.
■ Sprinkle with the confetti and serve.
