Stracciatella with figs and duck prosciutto

That rich and creamy interior of burrata that you love? It's stracciatella, hailing from the south-eastern Italian region of Puglia. In this recipe, it's combined with salty, sweet and nutty elements for a perfect marriage of flavours and textures.

Ingredients

  • 500 g stracciatella
  • 4 figs, halved
  • 50 g brown sugar
  • 300 ml vegetable oil
  • 1 sprig rosemary, leaves picked
  • salt flakes and ground black pepper
  • 100 g air-dried duck prosciutto, torn into strips
  • 100 g bunya nuts or macadamias, toasted and chopped
  • vincotto and extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Remove the stracciatella from the refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature.
  2. Heat a heavy-based non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Slice the figs in half and sprinkle the cut sides with brown sugar. Place the figs, sugar-side down into the pan and cook until nicely caramelised. Remove from the pan and place, cut side up on a plate to cool.
  3. Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a small saucepan over medium heat to 170˚C. Add the rosemary leaves and cook just until golden. Drain on paper towel.
  4. To serve, place the stracciatella in the centre of a large serving plate and season with a little salt and pepper. Top with the cooled figs and prosciutto. Scatter with the toasted nuts and fried rosemary leaves. Drizzle with vincotto and a little olive oil.
