House Pulled Mozzarella Caprese Ingredients
Method
Preparation Directions
- 1
Prepare the Mozzarella
In a pot, heat water until it almost boils. Tear the mozzarella cheese into smaller pieces and place them in the hot water for about 5 minutes, until they become soft and pliable. Remove from heat and stretch the cheese until smooth.
- 2
Prepare the Tomatoes
Wash the tomatoes and slice them into thick rounds. Set aside.

Make the Roasted Garlic
If you haven't roasted garlic yet, preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Wrap the garlic cloves in aluminum foil and roast for about 30 minutes until soft. Once cool, squeeze the roasted garlic from the skins.
