Ingredients
Scale
Cheese
- 8 oz burrata cheese (2 balls)
Fruit Agrodulce
- 2 cups red grapes
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1/4 cup golden raisins
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 lemon (juice and zest)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
Toppings and Serving
- 1/4 cup pistachios, chopped
- Toasted bread or crackers of choice
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 450°F (230°C) to prepare for roasting the fruit agrodulce sauce.
- Combine Ingredients: In an oven-safe skillet, mix together the red grapes, blueberries, olive oil, thinly sliced red onion, lemon juice and zest, honey, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine all flavors.
- Roast Fruit Mixture: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and roast the mixture for 15 minutes. During this time, the grapes and blueberries will begin to crack and pop, and the mixture will thicken. If the mixture is too watery after roasting, reduce it further on the stovetop over medium heat for about 5 minutes to achieve the desired consistency.
- Add Raisins and Season: Remove the skillet from the oven and stir in the golden raisins. Allow the mixture to cool and thicken. Season with salt to taste.
- Prepare Burrata: Split each burrata ball open and place them open-faced on a serving plate.
- Assemble and Serve: Spoon the cooled agrodulce sauce generously over the burrata cheese. Sprinkle with chopped pistachios and drizzle with a little good-quality olive oil. Serve immediately with toasted bread or crackers of your choice.
Notes
- The roasting process concentrates the sweetness and flavors of the fruit, enhancing the agrodulce sauce.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, increase the amount of red pepper flakes according to your taste.
- The dish is best served immediately to enjoy the contrast between creamy burrata and tangy sweet sauce.
- For gluten-free options, use gluten-free crackers or gluten-free toasted bread.
- Leftover agrodulce sauce can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently before serving.
