"I'm pretty focused on my day job and I plan to stay focused on it. And as I've said before, people make decisions to run or not run in elections. Those are personal decisions, and people should make whatever they think they think is in their best interest, and in the best interest of whatever constituency they're choosing to represent,"

Governor Charlie Baker

Recipe of the Week

Makes 6 Servings

Ingredients

  • 6 balls fresh burrata
  • 2 c. fresh peas
  • ¼ c. olive oil, plus more to finish the plate
  • 12 mint leaves, chopped, plus whole leaves to garnish
  • 12 to 18 fresh young pea shoots
  • Zest of one lemon, chopped
  • Salt and fresh-ground black pepper to taste
  • Fleur de sel

Directions

Blanch fresh peas in boiling salted water to cook, about 3 to 4 minutes. Shock in ice water. Drain and place in mixing bowl. Using the back of a fork, smash the peas a bit to break them up. Mix in lemon zest, chopped mint leaves, and olive oil and season to taste.

Place a ball of burrata in the center of a plate, spoon the pea mixture around, and finish with the whole mint leaves, the pea shoots, an extra drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of fleur de sel. Serve with oil-toasted bread slices.
