Some industrious fellow has imported real live Water Buffalos and is making proper Irish Buffalo mozzarella in Macroom. Well done him! This stuff is truly delicious and deserves to be the star of the show so we suggest serving it generously with some complementary bits (instead of putting it on a pizza!). Here’s what we tried first and we’ll defo be back for more. If you’re in Dublin you can pick some up in Fallon & Byrne on Exchequer Street or at any Real Olive Company stall at your local market.
Real Live Irish Buffalo Mozzarella Salad (with beetroot, capers & tomatoes) – to serve 4
- 4 balls of fresh buffalo mozzarella (don’t substitute the cheaper cows milk stuff for this recipe)
- 4 medium-sized beetroot
- 4 ripe plum tomatoes
- 2 tbsp salted capers, rinsed and drained
- 1tbsp red wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp top-quality extra virgin olive oil
- handful of torn basil leaves
Nice combo … looks pretty too!
