    Method

    1. Whisk the vinegar with 2 tbsp oil and the lemon zest. Season, then add the halved figs and toss together. Leave to marinate for at least 15 mins at room temperature, or for up to 24 hrs in the fridge.
    2. Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and almonds, then toast for 3-5 mins, stirring regularly, until golden and crunchy. Remove from the heat.
    3. Arrange the rocket on a platter, then tear over the mozzarella and ham. Top with the figs and drizzle over the marinade. Scatter with the breadcrumbs and basil leaves, adding a twist of black pepper.
