Intero Restaurant
Burrata

This made-to-order dairy delicacy begins with Stracciatella. Stracciatella, in this case, specifically references the ‘little shreds’ of mozzarella mixed with cream which is then wrapped in a mozzarella casing. Intero’s take on burrata is shouldered on a house-made walnut sourdough that lays the groundwork for this elegant open-faced sandwich. Made in-house with rye flour, molasses, and earthy, sweet walnuts, this bread is grilled and topped with Swiss chard tossed in a warm anchovy vinaigrette. Chef Ian Thurwachter is not one to let anything go to waste. He saves the Swiss chard stems, which are pickled and sprinkled on top. This dish is substantial enough to serve as a main course and pairs well with a mineral-heavy white wine. Read more about Intero here…
