Place bread, oiled side down, on grill. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, turning once, or until browned on both sides with light grill marks; transfer to serving platter. Place onions on grill, perpendicular to grates. Cook for about 3 minutes, turning once, or until wilted and very soft; transfer to cutting board.
  • Step 2Once onions are cool enough to handle, chop finely; transfer to small bowl. Add parsley, basil, 1/2 tsp (2 mL) of the salt and 1/4 tsp (1 mL) of the pepper. Stir in 2/3 cup (150 mL) basil oil until combined; spoon over grilled focaccia. Arrange burrata pieces over top of herb mixture. Drizzle 2 tbsp (25 mL) basil oil evenly over top. Sprinkle with caper berries and remaining 1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
