Balsamic Roasted Figs + Black Beans on Creamy Burrata

Black beans aren't just built for chilli con carne! They can be seriously CHIC. Roasted in the same tin as the figs, they soak up the sticky balsamic syrup and turn glossy, almost jammy, while still holding their shape and nuttiness against everything softening around them. That syrupy sweetness is exactly what a pool of cool, creamy, burrata needs to sit against. Ideal as a dinner party mezze or appetiser.

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 180­°C.

2

Cut a cross in the top of each fig and gently squeeze to open. Put the figs in an ovenproof tray scatter over the black beans. Drizzle with the oil, vinegar, honey and season with salt and cracked black pepper. Roast for 15 minutes until the figs are tender. The juices should have released and a sweet, sticky dressing should have formed in the bottom of the tray.

3

Tear the burrata onto a serving plate and top with the roasted figs and beans and spoon over the dressing. Scatter over the fresh herbs, sesame seeds and finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
