This week's recipe (the third course) is an apetizer courtesy of Whole Foods Market. Enjoy Buffalo Mozzarella with Balsamic Glazed Plums, Pine Nuts and Mint!
Serves 4 to 6
Ingredients
1 large ball buffalo or cow's milk fresh mozzarella, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds 4 ripe plums, pitted and quartered 1 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar 1/2 cup fresh mint, chopped 1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted 1 splash olive oil Salt and pepper, to taste
Method
Put vinegar in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Adjust heat to low and simmer until it is reduced nearly three-quarters in volume and thickened to a syrup. About 15 minutes. Add plums to syrup turning gently to coat and continue to cook for another 4-7 minutes more. Turn off heat and let cool. Meanwhile assemble mozzarella slices on platter, allowing to overlap slightly and season with salt and pepper to taste. With a fork, remove plums from syrup and place atop cheese, then top with the remaining syrup, pine nuts and mint. Drizzle with olive oil and serve.
