Instructions

Halve the tomatoes, place them in a colander and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt. Allow to sit for at least 20 minutes. The salt softens the tomatoes, draws out moisture, and intensifies their flavour. Arrange the tomatoes on a platter and top with the burrata. Sprinkle with pepper and extra salt (to taste), drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar (if using), and top with whole basil leaves. Serve with toasted sourdough.
