Recipe from Macknade: Roasted garlic, burrata, porketta & rocket pesto sandwich

Thick, squidgy slabs of Gilda Bakery sourdough - baked in Bishopsbourne and available fresh in store - are the perfect bread on which to build an Italian-inspired sandwich for National Sandwich Week. The roasted garlic pairs perfectly with gooey burrata, a homemade rocket pesto and our Macknade Porketta, stuffed with herbs, fennel, chilli & lemon. Inspired by the Italian classic, our Porketta is made by our butchers in-store and roasted by our chefs! Store the leftover pesto in an air tight jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks to toss with pasta or to use in more sandwiches. If you don’t fancy making the pesto, we sell a great pesto on our deli that will work just as well, which we'll be showcasing in our café this week. You can also make a vegetarian version of this sandwich by omitting the cheese from the pesto and switching the porketta out for slices of roasted pepper from the jar.

INSTRUCTIONS

To make the pesto, blitz together the rocket, basil leaves (stems removed unless you have a very high power food processor or blender), hazelnuts, oil and lemon juice.

Scrape down the sides, add the parmesan and a generous amount of salt, and blitz again. Season to taste.

Split the focaccia in half down the middle and break the burrata over the lower half, using a knife to spread the creamy middle right to the edges of the bread.

Pile on the Macknade Porketta, and spread about 3 teaspoons of pesto onto the upper half.

Assemble the sandwich, and cut into half or quarters. Enjoy immediately!
