1 g fennel seeds
Turmeric Oil:
5 g turmeric
50 ml extra virgin olive oil
1 coffee filter
Garnish:
Edible flowers
Basil leaves

Method:
Turmeric Oil:
In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil and turmeric for a couple of minutes; the oil should not exceed 85 degrees Celsius. Set aside for about 30 minutes to infuse before straining through a coffee filter. Store in the refrigerator until needed.
Macadamia Dukkha:
Preheat the oven to 140 degrees Celsius. Spread all the spices on a flat baking tray and bake for about 5-10 minutes. Using a spice grinder or a mortar, coarsely grind the spices. Chop the macadamia nuts with a knife on a clean chopping board. In a bowl, combine the chopped macadamia nuts, ground spices, and salt; mix well with a spoon.
To Serve:
Place the burrata in the centre of a small bowl or plate, drizzle with turmeric oil, and sprinkle generously with the macadamia dukkha. Garnish with edible flower petals and fresh basil leaves.
