The Unparalleled Combination of Flavors
This delicacy stands apart in its unique amalgamation of simple yet sophisticated ingredients. Tender English peas and favas provide a fresh, earthy base, elevated by the smooth, buttery burrata that simply melts in your mouth. The crunch of toasted gluten-free bread adds texture, while a drizzle of top-quality olive oil infuses a sublime richness, encapsulating the Mediterranean's essence in every bite.
The Healthful Richness of Peas and Favas
English Peas: The Green Pearls
English peas, a prime component of this gourmet delicacy, are not only delicious but also a treasure trove of health benefits. These green pearls are a rich source of fiber, which supports digestive health. They are also packed with Vitamin K, promoting bone health, and B-vitamins, which aid in energy production.
Favas: The Ancient Legume
Favas, also known as broad beans, are an ancient legume packed with nutrients. They provide ample amounts of fiber, aiding digestion, and are rich in protein, which is essential for muscle growth and repair. Additionally, favas contain a significant amount of folate, essential for red blood cell formation and the prevention of neural tube defects in pregnancies.
The Marvel of Burrata
At the heart of our luxurious dish is Burrata, a show-stopping cheese that oozes creaminess, further enhancing the flavor profile of our dish. Burrata is an excellent source of calcium and phosphorus, both of which are essential for strong, healthy bones and teeth. Additionally, the cheese provides a good dose of protein, contributing to satiety and muscle health.

- 1 lb fresh English peas
- 1 lb fresh favas
- Sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 4 thick slices gluten-free bread (homemade preferred)
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 8 oz burrata (drained and torn into pieces)
- 1/4 cup radish microgreens
- 1/4 cup freshly chopped herbs (like mint or parsley, for added flavor and visual appeal)
Shell the English peas and favas, setting aside some whole peas for added texture and visual appeal.
Bring a pot of water to a boil. While waiting, prepare two large bowls of ice water.
Once the water is boiling, add the peas. Cook for 1 minute until al dente. Quickly remove the peas using a slotted spoon, immediately placing them into one of the bowls of ice water to halt cooking. Drain them.
Using the same boiling water, cook the favas for 2 minutes. Drain and place them into the second bowl of ice water. After draining, peel the favas for a second time.
Preheat your broiler. Brush both sides of the gluten-free bread slices with half of the olive oil, place them on a baking sheet, and broil until toasted and crunchy.
Top the toasted bread with the torn pieces of burrata. Allow this to sit and soak for a couple of minutes.
Toss the peas, favas, fresh herbs, remaining olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper together. Pour this mixture over the burrata-topped bread. Drizzle with more olive oil if desired, then sprinkle with radish microgreens for a fresh, peppery bite. Serve immediately for optimal taste and texture.
