Burrata and orange salad

To celebrate New Zealand Cheese Month, here is a fresh and zesty way to blend cheese into a salad.

A brilliant combination of simple flavours that work wonderfully together. As tomatoes come into season you can swap the oranges for different coloured large ripe tomatoes. A mandolin is helpful to finely slice the oranges and shallot — delicate slices are particularly good with the creamy cheese.

Serves 2

Ingredients

2-3 oranges, very finely sliced

1 small shallot, very finely sliced

1 NZ burrata

Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Aleppo pepper flakes, for sprinkling

A few leaves of flat leaf parsley, mint, coriander or sweet marjoram

Method

Arrange the orange slices neatly on a flat plate and top with the slices of shallot.

Sit the burrata in the middle and drizzle over a little olive oil and lightly sprinkle with Aleppo pepper flakes. Scatter over a few herbs leaves and serve straight away.
