First, put the potatoes to
boil. The cooking time of the potatoes depends on their
size, 20-30 mins. Cook the potatoes so that they are
neither overcooked nor raw. Wash the cherry tomatoes and
cut them in half and then put them in a pan with a drizzle
of extra virgin olive oil and 2 peeled cloves of garlic, I
put a few basil leaves to flavour, salt, pepper and let
everything fry together for just 3 minutes on high heat,
then I put the cherry tomatoes aside to cool removing the
garlic cloves.
-
To prepare the basil
oil, put the basil leaves in a jug, add some extra virgin
olive oil and blend with an immersion blender, then keep
it aside.Cut the mozzarella pearls in half.
-
Once the potatoes are ready,
drain them from the water and let them cool, then remove
the peel and slice into small pieces, about the same size
as the halved mozzarella. Place the sliced potatoes in a
large bowl.
-
We add our cherry tomatoes on
top of the potatoes, buffalo mozzarella, our basil oil,
olives, salt and pepper to the potatoes. Finally, mix
everything delicately, add a few leaves of fresh basil and
serve.
