Balsamic Glazed Peach Burrata Salad with Mint and Pistachios

Place the greens into a fine mesh strainer and bring a kettle of water to a boil. Pour the kettle of boiling water over the greens in a sink (should take about 10 seconds). Immediately rinse in cold water to blanch and cold shock them (this helps the greens and therefore the oil retain its beautiful green color). Press out as much liquid as possible and transfer to a high power blender cup. Add the oil and season with a bit of salt. Blend on high, or until completely smooth. Pass through a coffee filter into a bowl (or 3 layers cheesecloth). Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week).

Add the avocado oil and mint leaves to a small pot and heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally with a fork to ensure even cooking (you can also microwave on high, checking every so often). The leaves will begin bubbling and will simmer slowly in the oil. When the amount of bubbling reduces and the leaves are translucent, remove leaves with a fork and transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with a bit of salt and set aside. This can be made up to a week ahead of time and stored in an airtight container.

Add balsamic and sweetener to a small pot and bring to a simmer. Simmer until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust adding more sweetener and/or salt, as desired.

Lay the peach slices onto a plate and sprinkle a cut surface with the sweetener. Using a blow torch, brûlée the sides of the peaches – this will barely cook them and keep their fresh taste. An excellent variation would be to grill them.

Add the peaches to a serving plate. Tear the burrata into pieces and place onto the plate. Lightly toss the arugula with a bit of mint oil and scatter over the plate. Finally, sprinkle with pistachios, drizzle with balsamic reduction, mint oil, and garnish with fried mint. Serve immediately.
