Method
Start by doing the jam. Put the tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, chilli flakes, sugar and a dash of water in a pot. Bring to a boil and simmer for several hours until the consistency is thick. Leave to cool and blend with a blender.
In a plastic bag, using a roller pin, bring the corn flakes to crumbs. Then pass the mozzarella through the flour, egg, and a mixture of breadcrumbs and corn crumbs. Repeat the process twice.
In a frying pan, pour the oil and heat well. Fry the mozzarella until golden brown from both sides.
In the same frying pan, fry the rucola, drain well on a paper napkin and drizzle with honey and sprinkle some sesame seeds.
Serve as an antipasto dish.
