Grilled Green Tomatoes with Burrata and Green Juice image

Get true unripe green tomatoes, not green heirlooms, which are too delicate to grill. As for the green juice, there are some good store-bought ones if you'd rather not make your own.

Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

Green juice:
1/2 small romaine heart, coarsely chopped
1/4 English hothouse cucumber or 1/2 Persian cucumber, coarsely chopped
1 cup (packed) torn kale leaves
3/4 cup cilantro leaves with tender stems
1 tablespoon (or more) fresh lime juice
Kosher salt
Tomatoes and assembly:
1 thick slice country-style bread, torn into bite-size pieces
7 tablespoons olive oil, divided, plus more for brushing
Kosher salt
3 unripe green tomatoes, sliced 1/2" thick
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces burrata or fresh mozzarella, torn into pieces
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced
1 jalapeno, thinly sliced
1/2 cup unsalted, roasted almonds, coarsely chopped
1 cup cilantro leaves with tender stems
Flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Green juice:
  • Blend romaine, cucumber, kale, cilantro, and 1/4 cup water in a blender until fairly smooth, about 1 minute. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl or measuring glass, pressing on solids to release as much liquid as possible; you should have about 1/2 cup. (Alternatively, you can do this step in a juicer.) Stir in lime juice and season with salt. Taste and adjust flavor with more lime juice, if needed.
  • Tomatoes and assembly:
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss bread with 2 tablespoons oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with kosher salt. Bake, tossing halfway through, until golden brown and crisp, 6-8 minutes. Let bread cool, then gently crush with a flat-bottomed measuring cup into smaller pieces.
  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat or heat a grill pan over medium-high. Brush tomatoes on both sides with 1 tablespoon oil and grill until softened and lightly charred, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to plates and drizzle with vinegar, 1/3 cup green juice, and 1 tablespoon oil. Season with kosher salt and pepper and top with burrata.
  • Toss scallions, jalapeno, almonds, breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons green juice, and remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a medium bowl; season with kosher salt and pepper. Add cilantro and toss again to bring everything together.
  • Scatter scallion mixture evenly over tomatoes and burrata; drizzle with oil and sprinkle with sea salt.

This dish is a great way to use up end-of-season tomatoes. The grilling process is simple and the results are delicious. I served the tomatoes with a balsamic reduction and they were a hit!

I'm not usually a fan of green tomatoes, but this recipe changed my mind. The grilling process really brought out the sweetness of the tomatoes and the burrata was a great addition. I'll definitely be making this again.

This is one of my favorite summer recipes. The grilled tomatoes are so flavorful and the burrata is the perfect topping. I love to serve this dish with a side of crusty bread to soak up all the delicious juices.

I followed the recipe exactly and the tomatoes turned out perfect. They were slightly charred and smoky, with a hint of sweetness. The burrata was creamy and melted in my mouth. The green juice was a bit too tart for my taste, but it was still a nice
