BALSAMIC & MAPLE MARINATED STRAWBERRIES WITH BURRATA & BASIL



This super quick to make starter makes the most of in-season strawberries and the combo of sweet, tangy and creamy is pretty irresistible, plus it looks rather stunning plated up too!


SERVES 2 AS A STARTER

INGREDIENTS
  • 250g strawberries, quartered
  • 2 tbsp good quality balsamic vinegar 
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • A small handful of fresh basil, finely chopped
  • 1x Burrata ball - I swear by Waitrose's wonderful restaurant quality version
METHOD
  • Mix the strawberries in a bowl with the balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, basil and a good pinch each salt and black pepper. Pop in the fridge for 10 minutes.
  • Spoon the strawberries onto a serving platter. 
  • Split the burrata ball, put on the platter, then drizzle any juices left in the bowl over the top. 
  • Grind black pepper over the top and 
scatter with basil leaves to serve.
