- Add vine-ripened cherry tomatoes to tray, drizzle with a little more oil and season, then roast for a further 4-5 minutes until onions are tender and golden, and tomatoes are starting to collapse. Set aside to cool.
- Heat a little more oil in a frypan over medium heat. Add 2 slices prosciutto and cook, turning, for 2-3 minutes or until crisp. Drain on paper towel, then transfer to a food processor with breadcrumbs and garlic, and pulse to combine. Heat
- 2 tbs oil in a frypan and cook breadcrumb mixture, stirring, for 2-3 minutes until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towel.
- Layer onions, tomatoes and roast capsicum on a serving platter, drizzle with dressing and scatter over the prosciutto crumbs. Serve salad with the burrata and remaining prosciutto.
