Cut the mozarella into 4 thick slices. Lay a slice of parma ham lengthways and the two across and lay the mozarella on top.
Cut the tomato into 4 thick slices and lay a slice on top of each of the mozarella slices. Put two basil leaves on top of each tomato and wrap into a tight parcel with the parma ham.
Place the 4 parcels under a medium hot grill and grill for 5 minutes on either side and until the cheese becomes soft however not melted.
Mix the oil, vinegar and juice of 1/2 lemon together and season to taste.
Put the rocket between four plates, lay a mozerella parcel on each plate and drizzle with the dressing. Serve immediately.
