Burrata, Roasted Grapes, and Garlic Toasts

by Charlie McCarthy, Sr.

Ingredients

• grapes
• 4 tsp extra virgin olive oil
• bread
• 1 garlic clove
• burrata
• kosher salt
• pepper

Recipe

1. Preheat the oven to 375 F (190C)
2. Place grapes on a lasagna type pan, pretty enough to serve. Drizzle with 1 tsp. (5 mL) extra virgin olive oil. Season lightly with kosher salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
3. Bake 10 minutes in preheated oven.
4. Meanwhile, toast bread until golden brown. Rub with cut sides of garlic clove. Brush with oil. Cut in half or quarters depending on size.
5. Place the burrata in a small oven proof dish and cut the top off the burrata.
6. Carefully transfer to centre of warm pan. Season with kosher salt and pepper. Drizzle with remaining 3 tsp. (15 mL) oil. Sprinkle with a little more salt.
7. Now the 'Milford Twist' - slightly squish the warm grapes so they stay on the pieces of toast easier and serve.

Enjoy!
