Step-by-step instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Brush the flatbreads with olive oil. Sprinkle them lightly with salt and a pinch of dried rose petals.
- Bake the flatbreads for 6-8 minutes until they’re warm and slightly crisp.
- While the flatbreads are baking, blend together the beet hummus ingredients: cooked beets, drained chickpeas, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. Blend until smooth and vibrantly pink. Adjust seasoning with salt and lemon juice to taste.
- On a serving plate, arrange the burrata. Scatter the sliced strawberries generously over the top. Drizzle with honey and a touch of olive oil, then season lightly with salt and black pepper.
- Assemble your presentation by placing the beet hummus next to the warm flatbreads and the strawberry burrata. Add fresh fruit around the board and garnish with edible flowers if desired.
- Serve immediately for the best experience.
Best ways to enjoy it
To truly enhance your dining experience, consider serving this dish alongside a light white wine or sparkling water infused with lemon. Adding nuts like toasted pistachios can provide a delightful crunch. You might also think about offering a fresh arugula or mixed greens salad drizzled with a light vinaigrette to balance the rich flavors.
Keeping leftovers fresh
If you have any leftovers (which is unlikely!), it’s best to store them separately in airtight containers. The hummus can be kept in the fridge for up to 3-5 days. However, burrata doesn’t store well once cut, so it’s ideal to prepare only what you plan to eat for the day. Reheat the flatbreads in the oven at a low temperature rather than the microwave to retain their crispness.
Helpful cooking tips
For the best results, use high-quality burrata and fresh strawberries, as their flavors truly shine in this dish. If you’re preparing in advance, whip up the beet hummus the day before—you’ll find it only gets better as the flavors meld. Lastly, feel free to adjust the sweetness of your honey depending on your taste preferences; drizzling it over warm burrata enhances its creaminess.
Creative twists
Don’t hesitate to get creative with your toppings! For a flavorful variation, consider adding sliced figs or apples in place of strawberries. If you’re feeling adventurous, experiment with different herbs like basil or mint to infuse a refreshing twist to your plate. You can even serve with a variety of fresh seasonal fruits like peaches or cherries to keep things vibrant throughout the year.
