TO DRINK: Jordan Chardonnay 2008, with a smattering of oak to match the smoky flavour of the mozzarella, and racy acid to cut through the richness.

Fried smoked mozzarella and rocket salad

Serves: 4
Cooking Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

  • 250g smoked mozzarella
  • 45ml (3 tbsp) cake flour
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 60ml (¼ cup) fresh breadcrumbs
  • 45ml (3 tbsp) butter
  • 100g fresh rocket
  • 250g Roma or cherry tomatoes

Instructions

1

Slice the mozzarella into four thick slices. Dust each slice with the flour, dip into the egg and then coat with the breadcrumbs.

2

Heat the butter in a heavy-based frying pan until it foams. Fry the mozzarella slices until crisp and brown on both sides. It will take less than a minute to seal the coating. The cheese should hardly even begin to melt, or the slices will start to fall apart.

3

Serve the mozzarella immediately on a bed of rocket and tomatoes.
