Burrata cheese with capsicum salad recipe

1. To prepare the capsicums, rub the skins well with 1 tsp of the extra virgin olive oil and put on a hot barbecue. Keep turning them until they are well blackened on all sides, about 15-20 minutes. Put the cooked capsicums in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Leave them to steam for about 30 minutes, then peel, de-seed and slice into thin strips. Dress with the remaining extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, sea salt and freshly ground pepper.

2. Spoon capsicum equally onto 4 plates. Place a burrata on each pile of capsicum, scatter the basil leaves over the top, drizzle with a little more olive oil and give another grind of pepper.

Goes well with grilled salmon fillets with salsa verde.
