🍅 Charred Tomato Carpaccio with Picual, Burrata & Chili-Citrus Dust
⭐ Why Picual Works:
Picual’s grassy intensity and peppery kick bring out deep umami in flame-charred tomatoes, while its boldness cuts through creamy burrata.
🍽️ Ingredients (Serves 2):
4 large heirloom tomatoes
1 ball burrata cheese
Zest of 1 orange
Pinch of Aleppo or chili flakes
Flaky sea salt
3 tbsp Picual olive oil
Micro basil or arugula to garnish
🔥 Instructions:
Char Tomatoes:
Halve tomatoes and sear cut-side down on a hot grill pan until deeply charred but still firm. Let cool, slice thinly.
Make Chili-Citrus Dust:
Mix orange zest with chili flakes and a pinch of flaky salt.
Assemble:
Fan sliced tomatoes on a plate, tear burrata over top. Sprinkle dust generously and drizzle with bold threads of Picual.
🧠 Presentation Tip:
Serve on matte slate or black ceramic for dramatic contrast.
