Fresh Stracciatella Cheese

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Stracciatella

    In a mixing bowl, combine the fresh mozzarella cheese and heavy cream. Gently tear the mozzarella into ribbons and mix it with the cream until well combined.

  2. 2

    Add Flavor

    Stir in the lemon zest, olive oil, and half of the chopped pistachios into the cheese mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Plate

    On a serving platter, spoon the stracciatella mixture in the center. Arrange the slices of soppressata, oven-dried tomatoes, and giardiniera around the stracciatella.

  4. 4

    Garnish

    Sprinkle the remaining chopped pistachios on top of the stracciatella and drizzle with additional olive oil if desired.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the antipasto plate immediately with crusty bread or crackers.
