Mozzarella pies with a spicy core, carelessly tossed on salad: scandal served on a plate.
A neatly plated salad with round, creamy mozzarella 'pies' tossed onto a bed of mixed greens. The mozzarella is partially filled with a sharp, spicy radish-horseradish cream, echoing the scandalous tone and the surprise at the core.
Ingredients
- 2 balls buffalo mozzarella (250 g total)
- 100 g radishes
- 1 tbsp horseradish paste
- 2 tbsp crème fraîche
- 1 bag mixed salad greens (approx. 100 g)
- 1 red onion
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 1 tsp wholegrain mustard
- pepper and salt
Method
- Wash the radishes and slice half thinly, grate the rest.
- Mix the grated radish with horseradish paste and crème fraîche to make a spicy cream.
- Slice the mozzarella into 8 thick rounds. Make a small incision in each and fill with the radish-horseradish mixture.
- Mix olive oil, vinegar, mustard, pepper, and salt into a dressing.
- Cut the red onion into thin rings.
- Spread the mixed greens over a large flat platter. Arrange the onion rings and radish slices on top.
- 'Throw' the filled mozzarella rounds as pies onto the salad, so they look freshly landed.
- Drizzle with the dressing.
Serving notes
- Serve on a flat platter so the 'pie strikes' are clearly visible.
- Provide extra napkins for the 'scandal effect'.
- Serve chilled for maximum freshness.
