<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ingredients<\/p>\n
long ciabatta loaf, sliced in half lengthways
\n3 tbsp olive oil
\n1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
\n1 tsp Dijon mustard
\n2 big handfuls of rocket
\n8 roasted artichoke hearts from a jar, quartered
\n250g roasted red peppers from a jar
\n8 slices prosciutto
\nhandful of basil
\n125g ball mozzarella, cut into slices
\n1\/2 red onion, very finely sliced<\/p>\n
Method<\/p>\n
Slice the ciabatta loaf in half lengthways and heat the oven to 200C\/180C fan\/gas 6.<\/p>\n
Put the ciabatta loaf halves, crust-side down, on a large baking tray and drizzle with a little olive oil. Pop them in the oven for a few mins until just golden and lightly toasted.<\/p>\n
Put the olive oil, balsamic vinegar and mustard in a bowl, then whisk them together with a fork.<\/p>\n
Remove the toasted ciabatta halves from the tray and drizzle the bottom slice with about half of the dressing.<\/p>\n
Arrange the rest of the ingredients in layers. Start with a large handful of rocket, then a few artichoke hearts. Next add the slices of pepper, the prosciutto, basil, mozzarella and, finally, the red onion.<\/p>\n
Drizzle over the rest of the dressing and pop the other slice of ciabatta on top.<\/p>\n
Press down on the sandwich to squash all the layers together.<\/p>\n
Wrap the sandwich in baking parchment and tie it together with a couple of pieces of string.<\/p>\n
Place a heavy baking tray on top of your sandwich and top it with weights or loaf tins filled with baking beans. <\/p>\n
Pop it all in the fridge overnight or until you are ready to eat it. Cut and serve in slices for the perfect picnic snack.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
