Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Make the Sunflower Seed Arugula Pesto

    In a food processor, combine sunflower seeds, arugula, olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth, adding a little water if necessary to reach desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Focaccia

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Brush focaccia slices with olive oil and grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until crispy and grill marks appear.

  3. 3

    Blister the Tomatoes

    In a skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add cherry tomatoes and cook until they start to blister, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    Place grilled focaccia on a serving plate. Tear the burrata and place it on top of the focaccia. Spoon the sunflower seed arugula pesto over the burrata and add the blistered tomatoes. Sprinkle chili salt over the top to taste.
