Category: Lunchbox Ideas | Ready in 6 minutes | Serves 1 adult or 2 kids | Naturally gluten-free
What You Need
- 2 Zavor & Co gluten-free arepas
- 3 slices mortadella
- 2 tbsp pistachio cream (or 2 tbsp ricotta blended with 1 tbsp crushed pistachio)
- 1/2 cup arugula
- 1 tsp olive oil
How to Make It
- Warm the arepas in the toaster on high, 2-3 cycles.
- Spread the pistachio cream on one arepa.
- Fold the mortadella slices on top and add the arugula tossed with olive oil.
- Close with the second arepa and press gently.
- Wrap in paper; the cream holds it together and it's good at room temperature.
About This Recipe
Mortadella with pistachio cream is a Bologna specialty — the same pistachios that speckle the sausage, blitzed into a spread. Peppery arugula keeps it from being too rich.
