Ingredients

For Pesto:

  • 1 cup walnuts, toasted

  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Juice of ½ lemon (for brightness)
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for a slight kick)

For Burrata Board:

  • 2 medium size tomatoes

Preparation

  1. To a hot pan, add your walnuts and toast until they are fragrant.
  2. Add toasted walnuts, chopped garlic, chopped basil, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and parmesan cheese to a blender and blend until a thick consistency forms.
  3. Once the pesto is blended, add to a food-ready syringe.
  4. Cut up some tomatos and add to a plate.
  5. Add burrata balls to the plate. Take the syringe with the walnut pesto and inject directly into the burrata.
