Fried Burrata over Romesco Sauce

all-purpose flour

egg,

panko breadcrumbs

ball burrata

oil,

(16 ounce) jar roasted red bell peppers, drained

almonds

tomato paste

olive oil

garlic

½ lemon, juiced

parsley

basil leaves

salt and pepper

basil leaves, garnish

crostini,

Burrata: Pour flour, egg and panko into their own shallow dishes and set them up in that order. Dredge ball of burrata in flour, dusting off any excess. Next dredge the ball in the beaten egg followed by the panko. Dredge ball back into the beaten egg, then back into the panko for a double coating. Place ball on a small, parchment lined plate and place in freezer for 10-15 minutes.

Romesco Sauce: Place all ingredients into a food processor or blender, season with salt and pepper and blend until smooth. Pour mixture into a saucepan and simmer until warm or hot, 5 to 7 minutes.

Fill a tall saucepan with about 4 inches oil and heat to 350˚F.

Carefully fry burrata in oil for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oil and transfer to a paper towel lined plate. Lightly season with salt and pepper.

Assemble: Pour romesco sauce into a shallow bowl and place fried burrata into center or sauce. Top with fresh basil leaves and serve with toasted crostini.

This is a pain in the butt to make but so worth it!
I only had a 12 oz jar of peppers so I added 4 Campari tomatoes.  I made the Romesco sauce before I did anything with the Burrata cheese.  Made the cheese ball as called for in the recipe.  I toasted fresh Tomato and Parmesan Focaccia (from Sprouts)in the broiler to accompany this wonderful recipe.  It turned out fantastic!  Made it again two days later… yes, it’s that good!!!

Hi Teri,

I didn’t know you could fry fresh mozzarella - like a giant mozzarella stick. 
I bet this dish would be pretty deadly at Super bowl!

Pictures look incredible. 

Stay awesome,

It happened with my first Burrata ball I tried. But using a lighter hand and higher quality Burrata helps.

This appetizer is amazing! Two people finished the whole dish. Everything meshes so well together.

Made it for Thanksgiving appetizer and it was so good! The creaminess from the cheese and the acidity from the sauce was a perfect combo. I loved how easy it was to put together. I'll be making this again soon!
