Burrata with black figs, Delica pumpkin and chicory
Item 1 of 1
A simple combination of some fantastic ingredients, this sweet autumnal dish can be served as a starter, side dish or light lunch, with a little bread on the side. The sweetness of the figs and pumpkin is offset by the bitterness of the chicory, with a rich, creamy burrata and tangy vinaigrette bringing everything together.
