Ingredients
- 1 packet vitello tonnato with sauce (bought at Delhaize Lochristi)
- 50 g rocket
- olive oil (optional)
- fresh lemon juice (optional)
- salt and pepper
- Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 2 tsp capers
Steps
Preparing the rocket
- Wash the rocket gently and pat dry with kitchen paper.
- Place the rocket in a bowl and drizzle lightly with olive oil and a little lemon juice for extra flavour, if desired. Toss gently.
- Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Presenting the vitello tonnato
- Arrange the slices of vitello tonnato elegantly on a serving platter or individual plates.
- Cover the meat generously with the supplied tuna sauce.
Adding the rocket
- Arrange the rocket beside or over the vitello tonnato for a lovely contrast with the pale meat and creamy sauce.
Garnishing
- Shave some Parmesan over the rocket for an extra layer of flavour and texture, if desired.
- You can also add a few capers to the vitello tonnato for an extra flavour accent if you have them to hand.
Serving
- Serve immediately so the rocket stays fresh and crisp and the meat is at its best.
- Tip: a crusty baguette or ciabatta goes perfectly with this dish.
