Call for Recipes using Fresh Mozzarella

by Deb Hall » Mon Oct 08, 2007 10:46 am

My wonderful mother-in-law arrived from Tennessee yesterday with illicit contraband: two gallons of raw milk fresh (as in milked yesterday morning) from her neighbor's farm . I'm planning to make some incredible fresh mozzarella this evening .
:D
I'm looking for some really stellar recipes to use it. I have a number, but I'd love to hear your recipes for showcasing some really fresh, really wonderful mozzarella.

Thanks,
Deb

Caprese! Quick, before frost! Thick rounds of perfect fresh tomato drizzled with your best olive oil, topped with creamy rounds of mozzarella and a fresh basil chiffonade.

I made this with leftover pork loin instead of the country ham, but it was still delicious.

Country Ham Salad with Fresh Mozzarella and Balsamic-Molasses Vinaigrette

1 pound Kentucky country ham, finely diced
1/2-pound fresh mozzarella, finely diced
2 yellow peppers, roasted, peeled, seeded, and finely diced
1/4 cup chiffonad fresh basil
3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup molasses
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 cups mixed baby greens, washed and dried

Combine the ham, mozzarella, peppers, and basil in a large bowl. Whisk together the balsamic vinegar, molasses, and mustard in a small bowl; season dressing with salt and pepper. Pour 3/4 of the dressing over the ham mixture.

Place the greens in a large bowl, drizzle with the remaining dressing, season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Arrange the greens on a platter and mound the ham salad on top.

I second Robin on this one!

I always sprinkle some good salt, and some fresh ground pepper, and use a splash of really good balsamic vinegar on mine.

oh yes, that's exactly how I treat good fresh mozzarella, too. with heirloom tomatoes from my garden.
