Preparation

1. Eggplant grilling

  • Heat the barbecue over medium-high heat.

  • Lightly brush the eggplant slices with olive oil.

  • Grill on both sides until soft and nicely browned (about 3-4 min per side).

  • Sprinkle with Zeeland Salt Smoked immediately after grilling. This gives an extra smoky flavor that goes perfectly with the creamy burrata.

2. Tomato Vinaigrette

  • Coarsely chop or briefly puree the tomatoes in a blender. Strain if necessary to remove seeds.

  • Mix with red onion, vinegar, olive oil, garlic, and season with Zeeland Salt Pure and Zeeland Salt Black Pepper.

  • Let stand for a while so that the flavors soak in.

3. Formatting

  • Place the grilled eggplant roof top on a platter or plate.

  • Spoon the tomato vinaigrette over the top.
  • Tear or place the burrata on top.

  • Garnish with fresh basil leaves and possibly some toasted seeds or herb mix.
