A generous focaccia in which the delicate flavour of Fine Halal Veal Mortadella with Pistachios meets the creaminess of stracciatella and the freshness of a few rocket leaves.
The lightly toasted bread brings a gently crisp texture, while the crushed pistachios extend the nutty notes already present in the mortadella.
Simple to prepare, this Italian-inspired recipe showcases the finesse of the mortadella without adding too many ingredients or overpowering its flavour.

Servings
🍽️ 2 gourmet focaccias
Ingredients
For 2 people
- 2 small individual focaccias or 1 large focaccia to share
- 100 g of Fine Halal Veal Mortadella with Pistachios
- 120 g of stracciatella or burrata
- 1 small handful of rocket
- 15 g of unsalted pistachios
- A drizzle of olive oil
- A few fresh basil leaves
- Freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
Slice the focaccias horizontally.
Drizzle a little olive oil over the crumb, then toast them in the oven at 180°C for 4 to 5 minutes, until lightly golden around the edges while remaining soft inside.
Roughly crush the pistachios to retain an irregular and crunchy texture.
Spread the stracciatella over the still-warm bases of the focaccias.
Add a few rocket leaves and fresh basil leaves.
Generously arrange the slices of Fine Halal Veal Mortadella with Pistachios, folding them gently to create volume without compressing them.
Sprinkle with the crushed pistachios, then finish with freshly ground black pepper.
Close the focaccias slightly or serve them open, depending on the desired presentation.
Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast between the warm bread, creamy stracciatella, tender mortadella and crunchy pistachios.
Warm version
For a slightly more indulgent version, place only the stracciatella on the toasted focaccias, then return them to the oven for 1 to 2 minutes at 160°C.
Add the mortadella, rocket, basil and pistachios after heating.
This method gently warms the cheese while preserving the softness, colour and texture of the mortadella.
Serving suggestion
Serve the focaccias with a rocket salad, a few cherry tomatoes or grilled vegetables.
Use the stracciatella sparingly so that it does not overpower the delicate flavour of the mortadella. A light layer is enough to add creaminess while keeping the charcuterie as the main ingredient.
Add the pistachios at the last moment to preserve their crunch.
Noor Gourmet tip
Remove the mortadella from its packaging a few minutes before assembling the focaccias. This allows the slices to regain their suppleness and fully reveal their aromas.
Avoid cooking the mortadella directly: it retains its finesse better when placed on the focaccia after the bread has been heated.
