Roasted Onion-Leeks with Caper Pesto and Burrata

Pane-Bistecca
Roasted onion-leeks (Welsh onions) with caper pesto and burrata – who would think of such an idea? I love playing with vegetables that are a bit unusual. And when I have guests who lick their fingers for it, my heart is happy!

Different flavors come together in a dish like this and create the umami effect. Soft and oniony from the onions-leeks, then sour and spicy from the pesto and soft and neutral again from the burrata. And for a slightly nutty experience I added some chopped rocket. I love dishes like this!
