Mortadella presents


I stole this little snack from Mario Batali and talk about a rewarding theft - this dish is simple and pretty awesome. Mortadella is basically Bologna from Italy (or made in the same manner as one would in Italy). All you do is place a little chevre (young goat cheese) in the middle of one slice & fold over the sides to form a little envelope-like package. Then place the packet fold side down in a hot non-stick pan (or a grill) over medium-high heat . Once the Mortadella is browned on one side (and subsequently sealed), turn over & brown the other side. Serve over a small mixed salad - I made a mustard vinaigrette and topped with sliced almonds and some dried cranberries.
