Sounds strange but is very good. The mild but slightly tangy mascarpone rounds off the bitterness of the rocket and complements the fresh mint. It’s a rich but delicate combination. Sort of like an Italian tea sandwich. For a more substantial and perhaps more conventional sandwich, add some prosciutto. I however think it is quite delicious as is.
Mascarpone, Rocket and Mint Sandwich
3-4 tbsp mascarpone
Handful wild rocket leaves
5 to 7 leaves of mint
2 thin slices of bread
Spread the mascarpone on one slice of bread. Arrange mint leaves on the mascarpone-covered bread slice, pressing down lightly so that they adhere to the spread. Top with rocket. Cover with other slice of bread. Cut in half, if desired. Serve. Makes an exceptionally good lunch with a side of caponata and some fruit for dessert.
Serves 1.
