SpecItaly Rolls. Easiest, most versatile-ever kid’s lunch box recipes. Delicious and wholesome doesn’t get much easier. Here’s how to make SpecItaly Rolls.

Method

1. Spread with pesto. (The best store-bought pestos have basil, olive oil, pine/cashew nuts as their top three ingredients, in that order)

   
   

2. Add a layer of thin sliced cheese. Havarti is really popular with kids. Then another layer of your favourite deli-meat. Most children really enjoy prosciutto cotto, which has a slightly sweet taste.

3. Finish off with a layer of sliced, succulently sweet cherry tomatoes. Roll up and cut into bite sized slices.

4. If you’re children don’t like bread much, then leave it out. Spread the prosciutto with a layer of pesto, add the cheese, then the tomatoes and roll up. This doesn’t need toothpicks to keep it together.
