• 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.
