Step-by-step

  1. Remove the stones from the cherries with a cherry stoner or cut the cherries in half and ease the stones out with a knife.
  2. Drain the mozzarella of its juice and roughly tear each ball into four pieces and distribute amongst the 4 plates.
  3. Drape the prosciutto slices through the mozzarella, scatter a few rocket leaves over, along with the cherries. Roughly tear the basil and mint leaves and lightly sprinkle over the top along with the borage flowers. Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil over each plate and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
