If you are looking for something a little more special for lunch at the weekend this might be just the recipe! It can also be easily scaled up if you are serving more than one.
Ingredients
Serves 1 (contains approx 400 kcal)
- 2 ripe tomatoes
- 125g ball mozzarella
- pinch of dried oregano or good pinch fresh oregano leaves, torn
- handful of rocket leaves
- ¼ tsp balsamic vinegar (1.25g)
- ½ tsp olive oil (2.5g - extra-virgin for a stronger flavour)
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method
- Using a small sharp serrated knife, cut the tomatoes into slices, discarding the ends and then season lightly with salt, if using and plenty of black pepper. Sprinkle over the oregano.
- Cut the mozzarella into similar sized slices as the tomatoes.
- Arrange a slice of the seasoned tomato on a plate and place a slice of mozzarella on top. Continue layering in this way until all of the ingredients have been used up.
- Scatter the rocket around the edges of the plate and drizzle over the balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Serve at once.
Prepare Ahead
Pack a sharp serrated knife with the tomatoes and packet of mozzarella in an airtight container with sachets of salt and pepper and a little oregano if using. Bring a knife and fork to eat if transporting.
