This was heaven. That’s all I have to say.

a few big handfuls of rocket
2 balls of buffalo mozzerella – sliced about 1/2 cm thick
Balsamic glaze

Spread rocket out of the plate
Top with tomato and mozzerella
Drizzle with balsamic glaze (go nuts and make pretty patterns).

1/2 cup dry white wine
500-700 grams vongole
