This is an opportunity to showcase fleshy heirloom varieties of different colours. We like to slice them thickly for a meaty texture you can sink your teeth into.

Note from Ricardo

Burrata is a fresh cheese made from buffalo or cow’s milk that has become more readily available. It looks a lot like fresh mozzarella, but the interior is filled with a creamy mixture of mozzarella and crème fraîche. Fresh mozzarella can be used in its place in this recipe.
