Grilled Orange + Burrata Salad

burrata · cheese · easy salad · fennel · grilled fruit

Prep 2-4

Adapted from SIMPLE by Ottolenghi

This was the recipe I made for the September 2025 Cookbook Club and whilst the original had grapes, my mother did not allow me them bc of the cold I had (almost 40 and still need the wrath of my mother!). Oranges work beautifully here and the marinade-cum-dressing with toasted fennel seeds are just a brilliant combination!

INSTRUCTIONS

1 In a bowl mix together the white wine vinegar, olive oil, fennel seeds, sugar, garlic, salt and pepper and herbs

2 Place the orange slices in the marinade

3 Let it sit in the fridge for up to 12 hours

4 When ready to serve, remove the orange Tupperware from the fridge

5 Place a pan on high heat

6 Then grill the orange slices on high heat until lightly charred on both sides

7 Place the orange slices on a plate and the burrata cheese in the center and spoon the rest of the marinade on top

8 Serve!

Mango Peanut Salad

Mango season means mangoes are innocently weaving its way into all our meals. This is a great way to add a fresh salad to any meal with a simple delicious dressing that complements the sweetness of mangoes beautifully. The crunch of peanuts and sesame seeds is just brilliant juxta positioning. For this salad I am partial to Badami Mango for it’s sturdiness and tartness. But alphonso works just as well. As do all other mangoes – it is the king of fruits for a reason!

Millet + Roasted Vegetable Tahini Salad

This is a nutritious salad that is delicious, easy to whip up and also stays incredibly well for a day or two. Tahini is full of calcium and good stuff, and teamed with foxtail millet, you’ve got the two parts of nutrition down. Then in enter the roasted vegetables and whilst I’ve used baby corn, capsicum and leeks, you can throw in anything else such as red onions, broccoli, peas, pumpkin, spring onions… the list goes on!
