Method
- Slice the tomato and season with the salt and oregano; slice the pickles thinly. Slice the mozzarella.
- Split the rolls and toast the cut sides in a dry frying pan over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Fill each base with roast beef, tomato and pickle.
- In the same pan over medium heat, add 3 tablespoons of water and bring to the boil. Add the flamengo and mozzarella slices and leave 30 to 60 seconds until they start to melt; turn and gather them with a spatula into a mass of melted cheese.
- Spoon the melted cheese straight over the filling, close the rolls and serve hot.
Shopping tip
Brazilian pão francês is the Portuguese papo-seco (carcaça). Sliced roast beef is at the deli counter of Continente and Pingo Doce; Brazilian queijo prato and muçarela are swapped for flamengo and mozzarella.
