Grilled rapini on the barbecue with a beautiful creamy burrata on top. This is the kind of side dish that outshines the main piece of meat. The bitterness of the well-charred rapini, the meltiness of the burrata, the punch of lemon and the smokiness of paprika: it hits hard for something so simple. Quick to make, absolutely delicious, and it instantly gives your dinner a fine dining feel.<\/p>\n
Rapini is that slightly bitter Italian green vegetable that loves the grill. We’re not trying to remove its bitterness. That’s exactly what makes it good and what balances the richness of the burrata. Once the greens are nicely grilled and the creamy ball of cheese is torn over top, the runny centre blends with the olive oil and lemon to coat everything. It’s rustic and elegant at the same time.<\/p>\n
This is the ideal summer side dish to stand up to a big piece of beef on the grill. Grill your bavette or your tomahawk, throw the rapini on the grate right beside it, and in just a few minutes you’ve got a complete plate that looks like it came straight out of an Italian restaurant. It also makes a stunning summer starter if you want to kick off the meal on a creamy note.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
