A warm and flavorful roasted bell pepper sauce, a fresh cream burrata, fried mushrooms and tomatoes and crunchy sunflower and pumpkin seeds. Now how wonderful does this combination sound? I usually use burrata for cold dishes, but lately I’ve been using it more and more in warm dishes. The cold, fresh and creamy burrata make such a wonderful contrast to a warm sauce or dish, like this one! The very flavorful roasted pepper sauce melts together with the cold and fresh burrata in the most divine way. To add a bit of chewing resistance and texture to the dish I added fried shiitake mushrooms, quickly fried cherry tomatoes and dry roasted sunflower and pumpkin seeds.

A few tips:
- Roasted the bell peppers on high temperature in the oven. You want the peel to get charred to easily remove it from the bell peppers.
- This sauce can be made bot a bit spicy or mild, just adjust the amount of chili flakes that you use when you make the sauce.
- The roasted bell pepper sauce should be warm when serving this dish.
- I used shiitake mushrooms for this dish, but if you can’t find any or have them at home you can also swap them for button mushrooms.
- Use good quality cherry tomatoes. They should be sweet and juicy, not bland and tasteless. They add a nice sweet touch to the dish, hence you want them to be flavorful.
