Mix the chili flakes and sugar in a cup. Fry the diced onion in the oil. Deglaze with the stock and cream. Reduce by about half, then add the peas and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Simmer gently for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, grill the cherry tomatoes in the oven at 200°C for 8-10 minutes until they burst slightly. Stir the crème fraîche and chopped basil into the peas and heat until hot. Divide between 2 deep plates. Slice the buffalo mozzarella and place on top of the peas along with the grilled cherry tomatoes. Sprinkle with the chili sugar. Sprinkle with the coarsely chopped basil. Serve with filoncinos (Italian bread rolls) or baguette.
