Ingredients:
1 large ball buffalo or cow's milk fresh mozzarella, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds |
4 ripe plums, pitted and quartered |
1 1/2 cup(s) balsamic vinegar |
1/2 cup(s) fresh mint, chopped |
1/4 cup(s) pine nuts, toasted |
1 splash olive oil |
salt and pepper, to taste |
Directions:
1. Put vinegar in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Adjust heat to low and simmer until it is reduced nearly three-quarters in volume and thickened to a syrup. About 15 minutes.
2. Add plums to syrup turning gently to coat and continue to cook for another 4-7 minutes more. Turn off heat and let cool.
3. Meanwhile assemble mozzarella slices on platter, allowing to overlap slightly and season with salt and pepper to taste. With a fork, remove plums from syrup and place atop cheese, then top with the remaining syrup, pine nuts and mint. Drizzle with olive oil and serve.
