Préparation
Prepare the tomatoes
Wash the tomatoes thoroughly, then cut them into wedges or thick slices depending on their size. Arrange them harmoniously on large flat plates, alternating colors for an appetizing visual effect.
Add the burrata
Gently place a fresh burrata in the center of the plate, ensuring its creamy texture is preserved. Scatter a few torn fresh basil leaves by hand to release their full aroma.
Season the salad
Drizzle a splash of truffle olive oil over the entire salad. If desired, add a dash of balsamic cream for a slightly sweet and indulgent note. Finish with a pinch of fleur de sel and a twist of the pepper mill.
Add the truffle
Using a truffle slicer, finely slice the fresh summer truffle. Generously sprinkle the slices over the burrata and tomatoes to bring the aromatic finesse of the truffle to your plate.
Astuce(s) du Chef Plantin
To enhance the flavor of the truffle, add some summer truffle shavings directly into the warm cream before letting it steep for a few minutes.
