How to make burrata with tomatoes.
Place the tamarillo fruit in a bowl, pour boiling water over it and set it aside for 5 minutes. Then drain off the water, remove the skin and cut the tamarillo into small cubes.
Wash the cocktail tomatoes, dry them and cut them into small quarters.
Put the chopped tomatoes and tamarillo in a bowl, and place the burrata cheese on top of them. Combine olive oil, chopped basil, salt and pepper in a cup.

Good to know when making burrata with tomatoes.
Before pouring boiling water over the tamarillo, make an incision with a knife. This will help remove the skin from the fruit faster. After removing the rind, the soft layer that is directly underneath it should also be removed, as that layer is quite bitter.
Roast the pine nuts in a pan over a very low heat for about 3-4 minutes.
If you don’t have tamarillo, use only cherry tomatoes in this recipe.
