So I have been looking for a chef to emulate.. And I think that I finally found him. His name is Michael White! The great thing about him is that he started out small just like all of us. He didn't have to live in some crazy town in the middle of Italy. So I have finally found the dude that I am trying to be!
Who do you think is the best? Check out who is the best.. I have attached the best recipe for a Burrata that is amazing! Tomato and Burrata Sfizi (Stracciatella) by Chef Michael White Makes 4 servings INGREDIENTS: 1 cup 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling 1 onion, diced 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced 1 28 oz can San Marzano tomatoes 3/4 cups loosely packed, julienned basil leaves 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes sea salt 1/2 loaf ciabatta, cut into 1/2 inch slices on the bias 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 lobe Burrata**, insides only PREPARATION: 1. In a large skillet, heat the 1/2 cup of olive oil over medium heat until warm. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, over low heat for 6-8 minutes just until translucent. 2. Add the tomatoes, sea salt and crushed red pepper and let simmer for an hour. Sprinkle in the basil. Puree the sauce with a potato masher until you reach a thick sauce-like consistency and let cool to room temperature. 3. Brush the ciabatta slices with 1/2 cup oil and grill, about 5 minutes. Remove and reserve. Spread the inside of the Burrata on one side of a wooden bowl. 4. Pour the half the tomato sauce on the other side (and reserve the rest for future use). 5. Serve Burrata and tomatoes with warm bread family style for a great appetizer. **Burrata is a fresh mozarella, it differs from other fresh mozzarellas in that when it is sliced in half it contains a creamy inside. I really wanna chat about what you guys think about the recipe and who the best Chef is! Juan Last edited by JuanGuady : 23-07-2009 at 05:39 PM |
