About

This super-fast dish is basically an open sandwich. The chorizo filling does most of the work and the fennel seeds, chilli and garlic make it taste even better. Juicy cherry tomatoes, peppery rocket and salty pecorino add all the extra flavours you need to make one heck of a sandwich – and it only takes 10 minutes to prepare and cook.

Method

PREHEAT THE GRILL to high. Meanwhile, cut the focaccia in half horizontally and carefully scoop out a little of the centre from each half using your fingers. Drizzle ½ tablespoon of the oil over both halves and grill for 2½–3 minutes until golden.
