Ingredient substitutions
Burrata
- Fresh mozzarella: Less creamy than burrata, but traditional in Italian tomato and basil plates.
Cherry tomato
- Grape tomato: Use ripe small tomatoes with a sweet flavor and firm skin.
Basil
- Small basil leaf: Choose tender leaves and tear only if they are large.
Olive oil
- Extra virgin olive oil: Use a fruity oil to match the Puglian style of the dish.
Salt
- Sea salt: Crush large flakes before measuring for even seasoning.
Black pepper
- White pepper: Use less because the aroma is sharper and less fruity.
