Remove the dark green sections and root ends of leeks. Cut open the white sections lengthwise and rinse well.
In a large skillet or saucepan, cook leeks in salted boiling water, covered, for 5 min. Drain and cover leeks with cold water to cool them quickly. Drain again.
In a jar, mix shallot with vinegar, oil, salt and pepper.
Arrange leeks on a serving plate and drizzle with dressing. Place Burrata on top of leeks and gently tear open to expose the creamy centre.
Garnish with basil and serve at room temperature.
Note: You can also make the leeks ahead of time and let them marinate in the dressing.
Tips
Cheese culture: Every Burrata is uniquely perfect: it’s a Mozzarella cheese, stretched by hand, around a centre of curd and unctuous cream. If you’ve never tasted one, you’re in for a treat.
Cheese alternatives: Canadian Bocconcini, Fresh Mozzarella.
