The creamy, dreamy cheese is absolutely everywhere, and for good reason: it\u2019s wildly delicious. A fresh burrata, maybe still cool from the market, with just a drizzle of olive oil, some salt and pepper, is one of the quickest, easiest, most luxurious things you can eat. What could be better?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, this. This is better. <\/p>\n<p>This is a little riff I\u2019ve made on various iterations of the same salad, appetizer, snack, whatever-you-want-to-call-it that I\u2019ve seen this summer that combines burrata with fruit. Usually, it\u2019s peaches or melon. But I\u2019ve been so captivated by how gorgeous the cherries look at our farmer\u2019s market (not to mention the sheer pleasure of having a bowl to snack on at any given moment) that I had to see if they could hold their own with burrata. My hypothesis? Yes, they can. Cherries are a little less sweet than a peach or melon, but they bring a beautiful tartness, a jammy ripeness, and a perfect visual pop. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/smittenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/burrata-with-crushed-cherries-and-pistachios-square.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-113577\"><\/figure>\n<p>And because it\u2019s me, and I can\u2019t stop myself, I\u2019ve given these crushed cherries a little edge: a few cracks of black pepper (a total revelation with ripe fruit, if you haven\u2019t tried it yet), a little fresh oregano (a subtle note, but essential), a good bit of white wine vinegar (that tart edge again), and a tiny bit of olive oil. The cherries burst and bleed their juice, creating a syrupy base for the burrata. <\/p>\n<p>The pistachios are the final piece, bringing a toasted, savory crunch. I could also see this with almonds or walnuts, if you prefer.<\/p>\n<p>This is it. This is how you win summer, if you ask me. I hope you make it too.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/smittenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/burrata-with-crushed-cherries-and-pistachios-serving.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-113578\"><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/smittenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/burrata-with-crushed-cherries-and-pistachios-top.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-113579\"><\/figure>\n<p><small>Do more with burrata: <a href=\"https:\/\/smittenkitchen.com\/2020\/07\/burrata-with-roasted-cherry-tomatoes-and-garlic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Burrata with Roasted Cherry Tomatoes and Garlic<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n<h2>Burrata with Crushed Cherries and Pistachios<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>1 pound ripe cherries, stemmed and pitted<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper<\/li>\n<li>1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves, minced or 1 teaspoon dried<\/li>\n<li>1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for serving<\/li>\n<li>1 tablespoon white wine vinegar<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 teaspoon sea salt, plus more for serving<\/li>\n<li>2 (4-ounce) balls of burrata (or 1 larger 8-ounce ball)<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 cup toasted pistachios, chopped<\/li>\n<li>Crusty bread, for serving<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In a medium bowl, combine the pitted cherries, pepper, oregano, olive oil, vinegar, and salt.
