Burrata, Pistachio and Pomegranate

I love this simple appetizer and so do my friends. Quantities can be whatever you want them to be to suit your taste and the crowd size. Below is a guideline for a perfectly portioned appetizer for two. Serve with crostini or sliced baguette.

Burrata, Pistachio and Pomegranate Appetizer

Ingredients

• 3-4 oz. burrata

• 2 T. olive oil

• 2 T. pomegranate arils

• 1/8 c. pistachio nuts, roughly chopped

• Drizzle of pomegranate molasses

• Salt and pepper

Directions

Remove the burrata and let rest on a paper towel to absorb water. Arrange burrata on a serving dish, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle arils and pistachios. Add a drizzle of pomegranate molasses, salt and pepper to taste. Serve with crostini or your favorite cracker.

As a salad— This appetizer makes a fabulous salad. Place about 2 oz. of burrata on a bed of mixed greens or arugula, top with pistachios and pomegranate seeds, and drizzle with olive oil and molasses, salt and pepper to taste.
