O Que Você Precisa Saber

- A hidratação prévia das amêndoas amolece a polpa permitindo trituração ultrafina sem resíduos arenosos no creme. - O amido de tapioca (polvilho doce) ativado pelo calor na panela cria a consistência elástica da casca do queijo. - O choque térmico em água com cubos de gelo firma o invólucro exterior sem alterar a fluidez cremosa do recheio.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (150g) Raw blanched almonds
  • 1 1/2 xícara (360ml) Leite de soja natural (sem açúcar)
  • 3 tablespoons Tapioca starch (or sweet manioc starch)
  • 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
  • 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup (for hydrating) Water
  • 1/2 xícara (120g) Natural plant-based yogurt (unsweetened, for the filling)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Sea salt for the filling

Instructions

Instructions

1

Start by hydrating the almonds in hot water for 30 minutes, or at room temperature for 4 hours. Discard the water, drain well, and transfer the almonds to a high-power blender. This step is crucial for the texture.

2

Adicione o leite de soja, amido de tapioca, levedura nutricional, azeite, suco de limão e sal ao liquidificador. Processe em alta velocidade até obter uma mistura completamente lisa e homogênea. A técnica profissional é não deixar grumos.

3

Pour the mixture into a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Stir constantly with a wire whisk for about 5-7 minutes, until the dough thickens and begins to pull away from the bottom of the pot, forming an elastic ball.

4

Transfer the dough to a surface greased with olive oil or to a silicone mat. With also oiled hands, work the dough for a few minutes until it is soft and pliable. Form a log and divide into 4 equal portions.

5

For each portion, open the dough with greased fingers, forming a small disc about 10 cm in diameter. The secret to this recipe is creating a base that gently embraces the creamy filling that follows.

6

In a small bowl, mix the plant-based yogurt with sea salt. This will be the 'cream' that will mimic stracciatella. Place a tablespoon of the seasoned yogurt in the center of each almond dough disc.

7

Carefully, join the edges of the almond dough over the filling, pressing gently to seal and form a small ball. The most common mistake is not sealing well, which can cause the filling to leak.

8

Disponha as burratas formadas em um prato ou recipiente. Leve à geladeira por pelo menos 2-3 horas para firmar completamente. A dica mais importante é garantir este tempo de resfriamento para uma estrutura perfeita.

Chef Tips

- Beat the almonds in the blender for 3 full minutes to ensure a perfectly smooth milky emulsion. - Grease your palms well with extra virgin olive oil when closing the pouches so the dough doesn't stick to your skin. - Close the top edge by twisting the tip firmly to retain the yogurt cream without leaks on the plate.

Variations

- Truffled version: add half a teaspoon of truffle oil to the creamy vegetable yogurt filling before closing. - Version with herbs: incorporate chopped chives and lemon zest into the central filling of the burrata. - Smoked version: add a pinch of smoked salt or smoked paprika to the almond mixture in the pan.

Substitutions

- As amêndoas sem pele podem ser substituídas por castanhas-de-caju cruas hidratadas na mesma quantidade de 150 gramas. - O leite de soja natural pode ser substituído por leite de amêndoas sem açúcar ou leite de aveia puro caseiro. - O polvilho doce pode ser substituído por fécula de mandioca fina mantendo as 3 colheres de sopa da receita.

How to Store

Keep the burrata pieces immersed in lightly salted filtered water inside an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Keep at a constant cold temperature and remove 10 minutes before serving to soften the fat texture.

Can You Freeze It?

Freezing this vegan burrata is not recommended, as the cooked cassava starch structure loses elasticity and the plant-based yogurt curdles when thawing, releasing water into the dish. Consume the fresh portions under refrigeration.

What to Serve With

Serve with cherry tomatoes confited in olive oil, fresh basil leaves, slices of toasted sourdough bread, and balsamic reduction.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I easily remove the skin from almonds at home?

Boil water, dip the almonds with skins for 1 minute, drain and press each nut between your fingers; the skin will come off immediately.

What is the ideal consistency of the dough in the pan before molding?

The mixture should be thick, shiny, and elastic like melted cheese, peeling completely off the bottom of the non-stick pan.

Why use nutritional yeast in the burrata formula?

Nutritional yeast provides nutty and fermented notes that mimic the dairy and umami flavor of traditional cheeses.

Posso rechear com creme de castanhas em vez de iogurte vegetal?

Sim, um creme espesso de castanhas batidas com suco de limão e azeite funciona perfeitamente como substituto do iogurte.
