PLATE IT!
-
11
This can be such a pretty dish, I try to have each serving look identical.
-
12
Line up four plates.
-
13
Quarter the burrata, being careful not to lose the creamy interior.
-
14
Cut each of the quarters of burrata into 2 or 3 pieces.
-
15
Place the burrata sections on the plates.
-
16
Next, divide the passion fruit among the four plates, placing it on top of some of the burrata and away from other pieces.
-
17
Next, add the dates to the plate, in little piles, here and there.
-
18
Add the roe in clumps, adjacent to or on top of the burrata.

Finally, drizzle on the oil in a circular motion, like playing connect the dots.

BREAK IT: Adding more components to this dish will only make it more over the top.

Use some cracked coffee beans for a bitter, toasty component, and cook some thyme with the vanilla bean to give it an herbal oomph.
