Asparagus Caprese Ingredients

Method

Asparagus Caprese Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Trim the tough ends off the asparagus and rinse them under cold water.

  2. 2

    Blanch the Asparagus

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Dish

    On a serving platter, spread the pesto evenly. Arrange the blanched asparagus on top of the pesto. Tear the burrata cheese into pieces and distribute it over the asparagus.

  4. 4

    Finish with Balsamic

    Drizzle the balsamic vinegar and olive oil over the assembled dish. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately as an appetizer or light meal.
