Roasted Olives, Tomatoes & Garlic with Burrata, topped with Honey and Herbs.
Roasted Olives, Tomatoes & Garlic with Burrata, all jazzed up with honey and herbs because apparently, I fancy now.
So, there I was, standing in my kitchen, thinking I'm some kind of culinary genius, about to embark on a journey to make this dish that I swear I've eaten with just a spoon. Yes, a spoon, because who needs manners when it tastes this good? It's like the universe's way of saying, "Here, have something that'll make your taste buds dance and your friends think you're a gourmet chef." Perfect for the holidays or, let's be honest, a Tuesday night when you're feeling extra.
Here's how this masterpiece came together: First, crank your oven up to 425 degrees because we're not here to play games. Grab a casserole dish and throw in a bunch of Kalamata olives, some tomatoes (because what's a dish without tomatoes?), slices of lemon for that zesty kick, and a bunch of garlic cloves. Now, the amount you use totally depends on how big your dish is or how much you love these ingredients. You're aiming to cover the dish like a blanket of deliciousness. Next, drown it all in about 1/2 cup of EVOO – that's extra virgin olive oil for those who don't watch cooking shows. Sprinkle with salt, a mix of dried basil and oregano because we're fancy, and then, the secret weapon: honey. Yes, honey. Drizzle that sweet nectar of the gods all over it and then toss it in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
Once it's done and your kitchen smells like heaven, take it out and plonk a big, beautiful burrata right in the middle because, at this point, why not go all out? Drizzle more honey over everything because we're about that sweet life, then garnish with fresh dill, basil, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a little kick. And there you have it, a dish so good you'll want to eat it with a spoon, no judgment. Serve it with a warm crostini to soak up all that glorious EVOO and honey garlic sauce, and watch as your guests wonder when you became such a culinary wizard. Trust me, it's a crowd-pleaser.
