Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed
- 2 tablespoons thinly sliced lemon zest (from about 1 lemon)
- 1-2 sprinkles black pepper
- 4 balls fresh burrata cheese, at room temperature
- 2 pounds thinly sliced salami
- Marcona almonds, for serving
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine olive oil, rosemary, garlic, and lemon zest. Warm over low heat for 5–6 minutes until fragrant, then remove from heat and stir in black pepper. Let cool slightly.
- Place burrata balls in small bowls or on a platter and arrange salami slices around them.
- Drizzle each burrata generously with the infused lemon-pepper oil.
- Sprinkle with a little flaky salt and scatter Marcona almonds around for serving.
- Serve immediately with crackers or crusty bread.
Notes
- Do not overheat the oil — it should only warm to release flavors.
- Allow burrata to come to room temperature before serving.
- The infused oil can be made ahead and stored for up to 3 days.
- Use orange zest instead of lemon for a softer citrus note.
