Ideas for a dish that has Fresh Mozzarella?

Question

I have a tub of fresh mozzarella balls and a jar of capers.. any ideas on what to make with these.. I have never used or even ate capers and I have nt used the fresh mozzarella either, just the pre grated stuff in the bag.

Answer 1

I am a former chef and you can use the fresh mozzarella is a filling/stuffing for chicken or pork cutlets made like the "Cordon Bleu" menu item, for the capers if your not familiar with them they can be a bit overpowering, not something I would give the kids, they can be used in a sauce with the chicken or pork even veal cutlets, just saute some onions, a bit of garlic, parsley and a tables spoon of capers in fresh butter.

Answer 2

A really good appetizer dish is nice. It's very common and you probably would already know about it, but it's mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil on a toothpick.

Answer 3

There are two dishes I like to make that use fresh mozzarella -

One is just sliced mozzarella alternated with sliced tomatoes and basil leaves (insalata caprese).

I also like making bruschetta (or my own version of it!) with mozzarella:

1 Baguette sliced into 1" thick pieces

-cut up some garlic cloves, rub the bread slices with the basil

-press each piece into balsamic vinegar

-add a slice of mozzarella to each slice

-add a slice of tomato

-sprinkle with strips of basil and the garlic

-broil in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese has melted

Enjoy!

Capers are pretty strong and are pretty good in a pasta tossed with olive oil, grated parmesian cheese, diced tomatoes, and basil.
