Serves 4
4-8 slices crusty, stale country bread, cut about 1cm thick
2 large garlic cloves, peeled, cut in half

½ cup reserved cherry sauce, warmed
4 gherkins, thinly sliced

Grill or toast the bread on both sides until light golden in colour. Rub one side of each slice with the cut garlic cloves. Place the bread on a serving dish with the garlic-rubbed side up. Drizzle with olive oil.
Place slices of blue cheese on the bruschetta and pile with the warmed, shredded pork meat.
Spoon over a little cherry sauce, add gherkins and sprinkle with dukkah (optional). Sprinkle with sea salt to taste. Garnish each bruschetta with 2-3 baby rocket leaves and serve.
