Caramelized Peach Burrata Grain Bowl (Printable)
Sweet peaches, creamy cheese, and nutty grains come together in this vibrant summer bowl.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Grains
01 - 1 cup farro (or quinoa or barley), uncooked
02 - 2 cups water
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
→ Caramelized Peaches
04 - 3 large ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
05 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
06 - 1 tablespoon honey
07 - 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
→ Assembly
08 - 2 balls fresh burrata cheese (about 4 oz each)
09 - 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
10 - 1/4 cup toasted pistachios or almonds, roughly chopped
11 - 2 cups arugula or baby spinach
12 - 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
13 - 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
14 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
# How-To Steps:
01 - Rinse farro and combine with water and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 15–20 minutes (or per package instructions) until tender. Drain excess water and fluff with a fork.
02 - While grains cook, heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add peach slices and sauté for 2–3 minutes. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with salt. Cook, turning occasionally, until peaches are golden and caramelized, about 3–5 minutes. Remove from heat.
03 - Divide cooked grains among four bowls. Top each with arugula or spinach, followed by caramelized peaches. Tear burrata balls in half and place one half on each bowl.
04 - Sprinkle with toasted pistachios or almonds and fresh basil. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic glaze. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- It balances warm caramelized fruit with cool creamy cheese in a way that feels luxurious yet simple
- The combination of textures—chewy grains, soft peaches, creamy cheese, crunchy nuts—makes every bite interesting
02 -
- Do not move the peaches around too much in the pan—let them develop deep golden brown spots for the best caramelized flavor
- Serve this right after assembling so the warm peaches slightly melt the burrata creating an incredible creamy sauce
03 -
- Tear the burrata by hand instead of cutting it—this creates more texture and looks more rustic and inviting
- If your peaches are very juicy, reduce the honey to 1 teaspoon so the caramelization does not become too sweet
