BURRATA,CHERRY TOMATOES AND IBERICO HAM SHAVINGS

I love burrata!!! Fist time that I tried burrata it was some years ago in San Juan(Alicante) in an Italian restaurant, and it was love at first sight!
Burrata is a fresh Italian cheese made from mozzarella and cream. The outer shell is mozzarella, while the inside is mozzarella and cream. The word burrata means "buttered"in Italian.
When the burrata is sliced open, the cream from the inside flows out. This cheese has a buttery, sweet and milky flavor that gently fills the palate.
Burrata cheese is traditionally enjoyed on its own, and today my recipe with sliced cherry tomatoes, olive oil, basil and ham shavings complete a delightful plate.

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS

• Cherry tomatoes
• Burrata cheese
• Iberico ham
•  2 or 3 Basil leaves

1. Put the raw almonds, basil leaves and olive oil in a blender cup or food processor and blend all together and reserve
2. Put the cherry tomatoes in a oven tray and roast them in the oven at minimum temperature  for at least 1hour or 90 minutes
3. In another oven tray we can prepare the iberico ham shavings, first put a parchment paper over the tray, then iberico ham and another parchment paper to cover the ham and bake the ham at 300F for 10 or 15 minutes
4. After this we can prepare our plate,  open burrata cheese ball in half and  put  roasted cherry tomatoes and iberico shavings ham inside the cheese
5. Drizzle the burrata cheese, tomatoes and ham with the basil olive oil that we had reserved.
