Stracciatella and strawberry salad with belle rose basil granita

By Luke Dale-Roberts
4
Easy
25 minutes, plus freezing time
5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 200 g strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • 1 cup Rose Champagne
  • 100 g icing sugar
  • 1 t mint, torn
  • 180 g stracciatella
  • For the basil granita

  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 100 g sugar
  • 2 basil leaves, torn

Method

Dress the strawberry with the Champagne and icing sugar, then toss in the torn mint. Serve with a scoop of stracciatella* and the basil granita.

To make the granita, bring the water, lemon juice and sugar to a boil in a saucepan. Cool for 20 minutes, then add the basil. Blend well in a blender, then strain. Freeze, fluffing regularly with a fork.

Cook's note: stracciatella, in this instance, is the creamy liquid found in particular types of mozzarella. Try Puglia as a source or simply replace with bocconcino or mozzarella cheese.
