Description
The Pomegranate & Burrata Christmas Ornaments are a visually stunning and delicious appetizer for any gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 burrata balls
- 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
- 1/4 cup pistachios, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- 1 cup arugula, for serving
Instructions
- Start your culinary journey by gently patting the burrata balls with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. This step is essential as it ensures a better adherence of the toppings, allowing the vibrant flavors to mingle beautifully. Next, take your small bowl and combine the finely chopped pistachios and parsley, mixing well until evenly blended. This herbal and nutty mixture will bring texture and flavor to your burrata.
- With your burrata balls prepped, it’s time to coat them with the pistachio-parsley mixture. Roll the tops of each burrata ball in the mixture, pressing lightly to ensure it sticks firmly. This not only adds flavor but also gives the burrata a festive, decorated appearance. Now, sprinkle the pomegranate seeds generously over the tops of the burrata balls, ensuring you press them gently into the surface. This step is crucial for achieving that jewel-like look reminiscent of cherished Christmas ornaments.
- For the next step, take a large serving platter and lay down a bed of fresh arugula. This vibrant green base not only enhances the visual appeal but also adds a fresh crunch to the dish. Arrange the decorated burrata balls on the arugula, spacing them evenly for an attractive presentation. The contrast between the white burrata and the bright colors of the pomegranate will certainly catch the eye.
- To finish off your Pomegranate & Burrata Christmas Ornaments, drizzle balsamic glaze generously over the assembled burrata balls and arugula. The sweet tanginess of the glaze perfectly complements the creamy burrata and tart pomegranate. For an added touch of charm, sprinkle a few extra pomegranate seeds and chopped pistachios around the platter to enhance the festive colors further.
Notes
Make sure to handle the burrata gently to avoid breaking the creamy interiors. Fresh ingredients will yield the best flavor, especially the herbs and balsamic glaze.
