Courgette, Broad Bean and Burrata

One ingredient that I always love to make the most of in summer is broad beans. They have such a lovely texture and flavour so bring a lot to each dish. They are also so adaptive to many recipes, so can be paired against a wide variety of flavours. My favourite combinations or with a salty or creamy cheese, and with fresh herbs.
This recipe can be made with either fresh or frozen broad beans. I have choosen burrata as the cheese since I love the theatre of having the whole ball on top, and when it’s opened up at the table, the creamy texture works perfectly.
I served this with the big wedge of focaccia, perfect for soaking up the juices.

I have ZERO doubt this will be delicious - man, now I have to work up the energy to make foccacia - I think it'll be worth it! Fresh burrata is such an almost sinful ingredient, it's so amazing!!!
One suggestion? Just perhaps mention that a courgette is a zucchini - most Americans won't likely identify that ingredient. Like the difference between calling an eggplant an aubergine... Yet, the recipe is good enough, and simple enough, to appeal to wide, wide audiences, especially we rural chefs who regularly grown all of the key ingredients every summer! What a wonderful and delicious way to tie them together!!! (Just don't isolate the folks who don't know the French!!! lol) Seriously - lovely post, and great pictures!!! ~Chrissie
