    • Roasted Tomatoes and Pasta with Burrata

      Posted at 12:31 pm by NativeNM, on July 23, 2020

      It seems like every summer I find a new recipe that is so good that I have to make it over and over again.  Well, this is it and it comes from one of my favorite bloggers, Marie at (Proud Italian Cook).  Marie’s Fettucine with Roasted Tomatoes and Burrata looked so appealing and I could only imagine the taste.  I’ve made it 3 times now changing it up with different types of tomatoes and pasta but it always makes the perfect meal.  Joe and I enjoy it with grilled chicken and a sprinkle of bread spices and olive oil.  Sometimes I roast the tomatoes in the traditional way in the oven but when it’s too hot for the oven I have found that roasting the tomatoes in my mini wok works wonderful.  You can use any pan where you can toss the tomatoes as they roast to get the same results.  Here I used cherry tomatos but campari tomatoes work great also, I especially like the Kumato brown tomatoes, they have such a rich dark red color when roasted and makes this dish so appealing.  Ever since I was introduced to Burrata cheese I can’t get enough of it.  It pairs perfectly with roasted tomatoes.  And last but not least a sprinkle of bread spices with olive oil is the perfect seasoning to top it off.  It has a wonderful blend of spices with a bit of salt and chile flakes to enhance the flavors.

    • Burrata Pesto Spread with Sun Dried Tomatoes

      Posted at 11:54 am by NativeNM, on August 20, 2019

      It’s been awhile since I’ve added a recipe.  My kitchen has been under construction since mid May which we estimated to complete over a couple month’s.  Sometimes well made plans don’t always work out though.  We fell behind schedule but hope to have the total remodel completed by the end of August.  Joe and I are doing a lot of the work ourselves with a little bit (actually big) help of a contractor who is helping to make it all happen.  I haven’t had my stove hooked up until recently but without a sink to clean up, I’ve been making do with a more simple menu, meals that don’t require a stove or extra dishes.   I shouldn’t complain though, it’s summer after all and most days I can grill outdoors.  This weekend I was inspired by a recipe from “Fork in the Kitchen” , a Burrata Pesto Tomato appetizer that was so visually appealing, I had to give it a try.  I tweaked the recipe so that it required no cooking and it turned out oh so good!  Once you taste the creamy burrata cheese with freshly made pesto and sun-dried tomatoes layered on soft french bread it’s hard to stop!

    • Rustic Heirloom Margherita Pizza on the Grill

      Posted at 1:14 pm by NativeNM, on August 25, 2017

      Over the years I have experimented with many ways to make pizzas from scratch. Whether it’s the ingredients in the dough or the way it is cooked there are always subtle differences in the taste and texture.  These days I cook pizza at a high temp which really makes my kitchen hot so the next best option is the outdoor grill.  This pizza I call rustic simply because of the way it looks.  It’s not the prettiest pizza by far but it was so good there wasn’t a slice left on the table.  I picked up some heirloom tomatoes and roasted them in the oven with some salt, pepper and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.  And I tried a new cheese, Burrata cheese, which is similar to fresh mozzarella but it has a creamy center.  You can’t slice it, you have to spread it and I wondered if I might have made a mistake using it.  But it turned out better than I had expected especially in how it tasted.  I thought it would be too thin and run over the edges of the dough but those fears were unfounded.  The texture remains creamy but resembles the flavors of fresh mozzarella.  One more note, I added fresh basil to one pizza after it came off the grill and the other I layered on the pizza to wilt on the grill. My own preference was that the fresh basil tasted better, just something about the fresh basil taste made it for me.  So whenever your pizza cravings come calling in the summer, be sure to try one on the grill.  You will absolutely love it!!
