Preparation of Ingredients
Prepare the Tomatoes
Wash the vine ripe tomatoes thoroughly. Slice them into 1/4 inch thick rounds and set aside.
Prepare the Burrata
Gently remove the Burrata cheese from its packaging and let it rest at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving.
Making the Pesto
Blend the Pesto Ingredients
In a food processor, combine the fresh basil leaves, pistachios, garlic cloves, and Parmesan cheese. Pulse until finely chopped.
Add Olive Oil
While the food processor is running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the mixture is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assembly
Layer the Ingredients
On a serving plate, arrange the sliced tomatoes in a circular pattern. Tear the Burrata into pieces and place them on top of the tomatoes.
Add Pesto and Drizzle
Spoon the pistachio-basil pesto over the tomatoes and Burrata. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze.
Final Touch
Sprinkle with additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately.
