The little sprinkle of buckwheat delivers a much-needed crunch factor. If you don’t have any, add some chopped toasted almonds or homemade breadcrumbs.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 Servings

Ingredients

1

pound small carrots, any color, scrubbed, tops trimmed, halved lengthwise

1

tablespoon olive oil, plus more for drizzling

Kosher salt

2

teaspoons buckwheat groats

½

teaspoon nigella seeds (optional)

1½

teaspoons Champagne vinegar

1

tablespoon fresh carrot juice (optional)

8

ounces stracciatella di bufala, burrata, or fresh mozzarella, torn into large pieces

1

cup (packed) mixed tender herb leaves (such as dill, basil, cilantro, and/or mint)

Ingredient Info

Nigella seeds, a pungent peppery seed also known as kolonji or black onion seeds, can be found at Indian markets and some supermarkets, or online.

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°. Toss carrots with 1 Tbsp. oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt. Roast, tossing occasionally, until golden brown and tender, 15–20 minutes. Let cool.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, toast buckwheat in a dry small skillet over medium-high heat, tossing often, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in nigella seeds, if using.

    Step 3

    Place vinegar in a medium bowl and mix in carrot juice, if using. Add carrots and toss to coat. Season with salt.

    Step 4

    Place stracciatella on a platter. Arrange carrots over cheese, top with herbs and buckwheat mixture, and drizzle with oil.

    Step 5

    Do Ahead: Carrots can be roasted 6 hours ahead. Let cool; cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before tossing with vinaigrette.
