Burrata that's what. I'm doing a story on oozy foods and the folks at Wine Connection suggested this beautiful ball of burrata. The smooth lump of cheese hides a luscious, creamy centre of gooey cheese. Cold and refreshing it's perfectly partnered with a quartet of more colourful and flavourful characters. The tangy tomato coulis leads the quartet, its sharp flavour a bright contrast with the cool creaminess of the cheese, the roasted eggplant bringing a savoury richness, and the generous sprinkling of fried garlic a touch of fun and crunchy texture. The taste of the asparagus does little for the dish, its ludicrous green colouring being its only attractive quality. The star of it all is still the burrata though, the intensity of the other elements lifting the refreshing cheese with its clean, clear flavour a welcome way to wrap up a meal. $29 at the Cheese Bar at Wine Connection. #burpple
