Thursday 30 July
Whenever Barbara goes to Jungle
Jim's, she buys a fresh burrata, and Monday
was no exception. What's more, our
zephyr squash plants are finally bearing blossoms, and this morning she picked
a dozen, thus fascinating Dora as usual.
So we planned an Italian-style vegetal meal for tonight.
The main body of the burrata got portioned over two platefuls
of sliced red tomatoes, garnished with basil, basil oil, and salt, and made our
first course.
Holt sliced the burrata's topknot into twelve slim
portions, one for each blossom, added a sliver of white anchovy each, and twirled
the petals back together. Then he made his classic
light batter, dipped them quickly, and fried them up in a pan of oil.
Though
the meal was only made up of vegetables, it was truly Italian in being anything
but light.
