Burrata with Mint & Basil Oil

Fresh summer produce needs little adornment to shine, just a nudge in the right direction and you have dishes that seem as if they took hours to prepare.

This Basil Mint Oil is so versatile, it is the perfect adornment to summer vegetables and pasta, but where it really shines is atop a huge ball of meltingly soft burrata. I prefer fresh tomatoes to their roasted counterparts as they really amplify the freshness of this dish

Ingredients

• 1 Ball Burrata
• 200g fresh vine tomatoes, chopped to rando pieces
• Handful nasturtium leaves
• 250ml Extra Virgin Oil
• 20g Fresh Basil
• 10g Fresh Mint
• Sea Salt flakes

Instructions

1. Begin with the oil, you will need to leave plenty of time for this to strain. Bring a pan of water to the boil and blanch the herbs for 2-3 seconds before plunging into iced water, this will help retain their vibrant green colour. Try on a kitchen towel.
2. Blitz the blanched herbs with the oil to form a smooth liquid. Pour into a coffee filter or muslin and allow to strain into a jug, this can take a couple of hours.
3. Decant into a sterile bottle and store in a cool dark place.
4. When ready, arrange the burrata, tomatoes and nasturtium leaves on a plate and drizzle with as much oil as you like, sprinkle with sea salt flakes and serve immediately
