Burrata With Olive Sauces

Nothing extravagant about this recipe other than delicious burrata cheese with two different olive sauces. Sometimes it is the simplicity of a dish that makes it amazing. Obviously you could save yourself the trouble of making the sauce and having chopped olives or a tapenade but you will see that these sauces take about the same amount of time as a tapenade. All you need is some nice pan seared bread in olive oil and butter with a little salt on it. Then add the burrata and olive sauces and you have one of the best tasting appetizers around. Here is the recipe I hope you enjoy it!
