BURRATA SALAD WITH PEACH AND ALMONDS

A

CAROLYN COHEN BA, BScOT Founder/Chef/Recipe Developer

DELICIOUSDISH Cooking School specializes in Whole Food Home Cooking, Meal Planning, Recipe Developing and Healthy Eating. #CookAtHome D: 416.200.3522 E: deliciousdish@rogers.com DeliciousDish.ca

his caprese alternative is so special. Make sure you catch the peaches when they are perfectly in-season and ripe! Burrata is a fresh Italian cheese made from mozzarella and cream. The outer shell is solid mozzarella, while the inside contains stracciatella and cream, giving it an unusual, soft texture.

INGREDIENTS • 2 ripe in-season peaches • 1 container or ball of burrata cheese, drained • 5 basil leaves, torn in a few pieces • 1-2 tbsp aged balsamic vinegar or 2 tbsp of balsamic pearls • 2-3 tbsp fruity green extra virgin olive oil • 1 tbsp honey • 1/4 cup toasted slivered almonds* • A generous amount of fresh coarse ground black pepper • Maldon sea salt for sprinkling

DIRECTIONS STEP ONE

Cut the peach away from the pit in 0.5" - 1" wedges (you will have about 12-16 slices of peaches from each peach).

STEP TWO

Cut the burrata cheese in similar size pieces to the peaches. To do this, cut the burrata ball in half and cut each half into 12-14 pieces. Arrange the peaches and burrata on a long narrow platter in a single line alternating between the peach and burrata.

STEP THREE

Arrange a few pieces of basil between each couple of cheese/burrata pieces. Sprinkle the almonds all over. * Toast the almonds by putting them in a dry frying pan on medium heat, tossing often until they are golden brown everywhere.

STEP FOUR

Drizzle the peach/burrata line-up with the balsamic vinegar or pearls, olive oil, honey and pepper.

STEP FIVE

SERVES: 4

Sprinkle with maldon salt.

technology

veryday, technology is getting better at saving homeowners time, energy and money. In recent years, appliances of all brands have set their sights on pushing the limits of development and innovation. What used only to exist in futuristic films can now be found in your local Home Depot. Here are a few recent insights into what's new in appliances.

FLEXIBILIT Y Imagine owning a washer that can run two separate loads at once, or a dryer that lets you dry delicates and everyday garments at the same time. Newly developed technology brings this dream to life, and even include Wi-Fi connectivity so that you can receive alerts, start, stop and monitor cycles remotely.

LG SideKick™ Pedestal Washer

SAVING TIME Some appliances have smart home capabilities so busy professionals can monitor their kitchens via their phone or laptops. This means you can now purchase high-tech ovens, dishwashers and fridges that are equipped with cameras, allowing you to check on your roast from the bedroom or draft a shopping list from the supermarket. >>>

LG Door-in-Door™ Refrigerator

SAVING MONEY Have you ever been hungry and indecisive, letting all the cool air out while you ponder in front of an open refrigerator door? LG brings state-of-the-art technology to their new door-in-door fridge design, which provides easy access to drinks and snacks without opening the full fridge door. It's almost like magic - simply knock twice on the glass to illuminate the contents within.

SIMPLIFIED DESIGN As the heart of the home, the kitchen fills an increasing number of functions including cooking, socializing and dining. Designers are finding new ways to embed intelligent technology into countertop surfaces that help keep the space clean and uncluttered. Homeowners now have the option to integrate wireless charging hotspots directly into hard surfaces like Corian countertops, which allows for embedded tech. So, when you get home after a long day at work, simply place your smartphone on the designated counter area and juice up that battery while you get dinner started. THN www.newscanada.com
