Method
step 1
For the romesco, pulse the almonds and hazelnuts together in a food processor to form coarse crumbs, then put in a large bowl.
step 2
Blend the peppers and drained tomatoes together in the food processor until incorporated but not smooth. Add to the nuts.
step 3
Blend the gochujang, olive oil, garlic, vinegar, paprika and salt to form a paste. Add this to the nut mixture and season as necessary with more salt, sugar and vinegar. To serve, put the burrata onto kitchen paper to drain any excess liquid. Spoon plenty of romesco onto a plate and put the burrata on top. Add a couple of slices of red chilli, season with a little sea salt and cracked black pepper, and then drizzle over the olive oil. Serve with toasted focaccia.
