Method

  • step 1

    First, make the pesto. Peel the garlic clove and blitz with the rest of the pesto ingredients in a food processor until smooth and bright green. Season with salt and chill until needed. Will keep chilled for up to a week.

  • step 2

    Slice the ciabatta in half through the equator and toast the cut sides under a hot grill for a few minutes until lightly charred. Spread the pesto evenly over the top, then arrange the mortadella, burrata, olives and rocket over the base and drizzle over a little olive oil. Sandwich with the top of the loaf, wrap firmly in baking parchment and secure with kitchen string.

  • step 3

    For best results, put the sandwich in the fridge and top with a chopping board and a few heavy cans to press it down. Chill for at least 30 mins, or overnight. Cut into four pieces to serve.
