Ingredients
- 2 fennel bulbs
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 oranges
- ½ x 80g bag pea shoots
- 6 slices prosciutto crudo
- 1 tbsp coriander seeds
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp white wine vinegar
- 2 x 150g balls burrata
- crusty bread*, to serve
Step by step
- Preheat a griddle pan. Slice each fennel bulb into about 8 wedges (reserve any fronds), keeping them attached at the root. Toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and seasoning and griddle for about 4 minutes each side until caramelised and tender. Remove to a plate.
- Meanwhile, grate the zest and squeeze the juice from half an orange, for the dressing. Cut the peel and pith from all the remaining oranges and slice into thin rounds, discarding any pips.
- Scatter the pea shoots over a large platter or individual plates then arrange the orange slices and fennel on top.
- Crush the coriander seeds coarsely and toast in a dry frying pan until fragrant. Remove from the heat and whisk in 2 tablespoons of oil, the mustard, vinegar and orange zest and juice; season to taste. Drizzle half of the dressing over the salad then roughly tear up the prosciutto and ribbon on top.
-
Place the balls of burrata on top and cut open. Drizzle the rest of the dressing over the cheese and serve immediately, with crusty bread for mopping up the juices. Accompany with Amalfy Sunset Spritz cocktails, made with Malfy Gin Rosa. *Serve with gluten-free bread if required.Serve with an 'Amalfy' sunset spritzFill a wine glass with ice cubes and pour over 35ml Malfy Gin Rosa, 50ml Sanpellegrino Aranciata Rossa and 50ml prosecco.
