Salsa verde:
1 bunch basil

2 cloves garlic
4 anchovy fillets
30g capers

150ml extra virgin olive oil
Method:
Firstly make the salsa verde, blitz it, but not too finely. Then check the seasoning and set aside. Add the lentils to a bowl, and then add 2 tbsp of the salsa verde to it. Roughly chop the sunblush tomatoes and half the cherry toms, then also mix in. Season and set aside. Take four plates and divide the lentil mix, then take the burrata out of the packaging and water and also place one on each plate. Drizzle with a little more salsa verde and then serve.
