For this summery heirloom tomato stracciatella dish, look for firm tomatoes that yield slightly to gentle pressure. They should have vibrant colour (yellow, red or green) and a fragrant aroma.
Ingredients
Method
Combine ginger, garlic, chilli, herbs, shallot, vinegar and oil in a small bowl. Season to taste and stir to combine.
Arrange tomatoes on two large plates. Drizzle over half the dressing, refrigerate to marinate (15 minutes).
To serve, top with stracciatella, remaining dressing and scatter with mint. Serve with toasted bread on the side.
Stracciatella, the stretched curd in burrata mixed with heavy cream, is available from specialty greengrocers and cheese shops.
