This dish is a creamy burrata, smoky sweet nectarine, and a zingy fresh lemon dressing to complement those smokey sweet flavours. This is summer on a platter.

Method

  • Step 1

    To install the grill plate, position it flat on top of the heating element and gently press down until it sits into place, then close the lid.  

  • Step 2

    Turn dial to GRILL. Set temperature to HI and set time to 8 minutes. Select START/STOP to begin preheating (preheating will take approx. 6 minutes). 

  • Step 3

    While unit is preheating, drizzle nectarines with ½ tablespoon olive oil. Lightly drizzle remaining olive oil onto the flatbreads and sprinkle the oregano on top. 

  • Step 4

    When unit beeps to signify it has preheated and “ADD FOOD” is displayed, open lid and place the nectarines and lemon halves onto the grill then close lid. 

  • Step 5

    When 3 minutes remain, open lid and remove nectarines and lemons. Add flatbreads to grill plate then close lid and cook for 3 minutes or until crispy. 

  • Step 6

    While flatbreads are cooking, make the dressing. Finely chop the 2 preserved lemons the place in medium bowl. Add in honey, 5 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper. Squeeze in the juice of the charred lemon. 

  • Step 7

    When flatbread is done cooking, open lid and remove. In a large bowl, add courgettes and nectarines. Tear the bread into pieces and add them to the bowl. Pick the mint leaves and add ¾ into the bowl. Drizzle three-quarters of the dressing over and give everything a good toss.  

  • Step 8

    Plate the nectarine panzanella onto a large serving dish. Top with scoops of burrata and garnish with the remaining mint, dressing and a sprinkle of sumac (if using).
