burrata with crushed cherries and pistachios

A friend attended a barbecue and brought store-bought items, apologizing for not having time to prepare anything. Together, the friend and the author created a platter using their hands, breaking open burrata, pitting cherries, and crushing pistachios. They finished the dish with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and fresh mint, serving it on store-bought crostini. The resulting platter was so impressive that dozens of people requested a recipe or tutorial after seeing a photo of it.
