    Buffalo mozzarella marinated with herbs and garlic

    Here’s a delicious little starter that’s a twist on the traditional Italian caprese. Like an Italian with an exotic accent. People can get rather anxious about meddling with the purity of real fresh mozzarella (not least because it can be a bit pricey) but you won’t regret this meddle.
