I need to find 50 ways to serve up my fig crop!
Here's an absolutely delicious lunch I put together today, using what I had to hand.
Fig, Stilton and Walnut Salad
Ingredients
2 fresh figs per person
Stilton cheese, quantity according to preference
chopped walnuts, about a handful per serving
Runny honey
Method
Wash figs, cut off stalks and halve. Place on a serving dish.
Crumble stilton over figs.
Sprinkle walnuts over figs.
Drizzle honey over figs.
It's that simple!
Serve with a salad of shredded little gem lettuce, finely sliced red onion and quartered tomatoes (mix of colours if you have them).
Drizzle a little balsamic glaze over the salad, maybe a bit of olive oil, and season.
And then ... enjoy!!!
This is a perfect little lunch for enjoying outdoors.
And here's an aerial shot I took in the kitchen before I traipsed outside with lunch. You could substitute the figs for pears or apples, if you can't get hold of figs. Or if you just don't like them.
I am growing to love their fine refreshing flavour.
So, peeps, that's 1 way to serve figs. 49 to go!!!
A la perchoine.
I don't mind being on the receiving end of those figs. I'd keep them away from the bean destroyer.
ReplyDeleteI dread to think of how your hubby would prepare figs. Serve the stalks as short beans and throw away the fig because he thought they were a bulbous growth at the end of the bean stalk maybe?
ReplyDeleteMost likely.
