Charred Peppers with Burrata
I’ve never met a burrata I didn’t like, but one of my top burrata’s ever was at Restoration Hardware’s restaurant. It’s served alongside charred bell peppers with a fabulous vinaigrette, and grilled ciabatta bread. It’s a game-changer, a crowd-pleaser, and honestly the perfect, simple dish to make for your next girls’ night.

How to Make
Preheat the grill or grill pan to high.
First, make your vinaigrette
Combine olive oil, honey, pistachios, lemon juice, vinegar, basil, chives, thyme, garlic, salt, pepper, and chili flakes, whisk until smooth.
Next, prep your peppers
Toss the peppers olive oil, paprika, chili powder, salt and pepper. Place the bread on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil on both sides of each slice, season with salt.
Now grill your bread and peppers
Place bread on the grill, grilling for 2-3 minutes per side or until lightly toasted. Remove from the grill. At the same time, grill the peppers until softened and charred, 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and arrange on a serving plate.
Finally, prep your burrata for serving
Add ball of burrata to center of the plate. Add peppers in a stack near burrata. Drizzle half of the vinaigrette over peppers. Serve with grilled bread, and remaining vinaigrette.
