Roasted Figs, Burrata & Black Bean Salad

Burrata is a delicious Italian, fresh cheese made from mozzarella and cream. The outer shell is solid mozzarella, while the inside contains both mozzarella and cream, giving it a creamy, soft texture. It's often served fresh, either as a standalone dish with some olive oil and fresh tomatoes or incorporated into salads or pasta dishes.

This particular dish is best enjoyed as a starter or as a shared plate alongside other dishes!

Ingredients

2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra to serve
1 tbsp Darts raw honey
1 jar of BoldBean Queen Black Beans, drained and rinsed
300g (roughly 2 balls) of burrata, or vegan alternative
A small bunch of fresh mint and basil leaves (roughly 10g)
Fresh rocket, to serve (optional)
Sesame / Pumpkin seeds to serve

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Cut a cross in the top of each fig and gently squeeze to open. Put the figs in an ovenproof tray scatter over the black beans. Drizzle with the oil, vinegar, honey and season with salt and cracked black pepper. Roast for 15 minutes until the figs are tender. The juices should have released and a sweet, sticky dressing should have formed in the bottom of the tray.
Tear the burrata onto a serving plate and top with the roasted figs and beans and spoon over the dressing. Scatter over the fresh herbs, sesame seeds and finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
