Griddled Caprese Antipasti Wrap with Rocket Pistachio Pesto

Disclaimer: At the time of writing this post, Warburtons didn't make gluten free wraps. But they do now and this recipe can be made using those instead.
The World Cup is upon us! Soccer/Futbol fans around the globe will have their TVs tuned to sports stations, focused on the footy activity happening in Brazil. There's nothing that pairs better with watching sports than lining your belly with delicious, filling food. Warburtons understands the importance of a great game time snack and have launched a World Cup centered campaign: Cook Off Before Kick Off.

This campaign is designed to encourage World Cup watchers to spend a few minutes in the kitchen prior to kick off, whipping up a tasty treat to munch during the match. Saturday, 14 June, England will be squaring off against Italy in one of the opening matches of the championship. To help inspire you and get you in the mood for the action, I've created this two-part Italian themed snack: a sarnie slathered with pesto and filled with classic Italian ingredients. Cook Off Before Kick Off on the 14th with this easy sandwich and enjoy the game on a full belly!

The star of this sandwich is the pesto: a smooth blend of rocket/arugula, pistachio and cheese, with a hint of lemon juice, a pinch of salt and just a whiff of garlic. The pesto is whirled together with a good glug of olive oil and it's chilled before being spread on the bottom of a Warburtons Easy Roll Wrap. It's simply stunning and decadent.

  1. Anyonita, I love recipes that are versatile. This sounds so tasty. But what really caught my eye was the #pesto combo. I love making my own and #Arugula and #Pistachio is a great twist. Thanks!

  7. I loved this recipe the first time I saw it. Especially the pesto. I bet thin sliced turkey breast would be good in this as well. On my "to do" list! Thanks Anyonita!
