If you’ve checked out some of my previous recipes I guess you might have noticed that I love pairing seasonal fruits with cheese. I usually make them very quick and simple, just using a 3-4 key ingredients. Because if you use seasonal and good quality ingredients you really don’t have to make it more complicated than that! Pairing sweet fruits with both tangy or creamy cheeses can never go wrong! You can almost pair any fruit and cheese and it will taste amazing. This dish is made with sweet and juicy oranges (I used one regular orange and one blood orange), crunchy fennel and creamy burrata. I also made a simple and easy orange and honey dressing to accompany this dish and to add that something extra on top. This dish only takes 5-10 minutes to prepare, only requires four main ingredients and is perfect to serve either as a starter or side dish to your main course. It is both vegetarian, gluten and grain free.
A few tips:
- Use juicy and sweet oranges. You can use a mix of regular oranges and blood oranges as I did, or just use one of them. But make sure they are really sweet and juicy.
- For the dressing I used the leftovers of the filleted orange. But if you don’t have enough juice from yours just one a new one.
- Buy a good quality and really creamy burrata. It really make the biggest difference. It might cost a few pennies more, but it’s so worth it since it, together with the oranges, is the main ingredient in this dish. Don’t buy the cheaper and dyer once.
- I made my dressing using orange juice, fiber syrup and a pinch of sea salt. But you can also add some olive oil to it if preferred.
- I would recommend you not to make this dish long time in advance since you want to keep the oranges juicy, the fennel crunchy and the burrata creamy. Since it’s really easy to prepare and only takes 5-10 minutes to make you should make it just before serving it.
