FRESH FIGS WITH STILTON AND WALNUTS IN A HONEY DRIZZLE DRESSING

Fresh Figs With Stilton and Walnuts in a Honey Drizzle Dressing image

A new fig recipe for this year! Similar to my Recipe #250866 but with blue cheese and a honey drizzle dressing. I like to tuck a few fig leaves amongst the salad for colour........but please do wipe them first! Serve these figs with crusty bread, some mixed herb and salad leaves.......and a glass of chilled wine. Quantities for figs depend on the size; allow one or two large figs per person or, between three and six for medium to small figs.This makes a fabulous dinner party starter, or a light salad for lunch..........I sometimes serve this for the cheese course too, for something a little different.

Time 5m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

24 -30 fresh figs, medium to large
6 -9 ounces blue cheese, such as Stilton or 6 -9 ounces Roquefort cheese
9 ounces walnut halves, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons clear runny honey
6 tablespoons walnut oil
1 tablespoon sherry wine vinegar
salt
black pepper
fresh fig leaf (to garnish)

Steps:

Toasted Walnuts:.
In a large, heavy frying pan, over a high heat, toast the walnuts for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove and set aside to cool.
Honey Drizzle Dressing.
Put the vinegar and a good pinch of salt and black pepper in a screw-top jar and shake until the salt has dissolved. Add the honey and walnut oil, then shake again to emulsify - the emulsion will hold for ten minutes or so, but give it another jiggle just before you use it to dress the salad.
Salad:.
Wipe the fresh figs gently, and cut them in half. Arrange them on a large platter, OR on individual plates - allowing 4 to 5 fresh figs per person, depending on the size.
Sprinkle 1 to 1 1/2 ozs of crumbled or sliced blue cheese per person, over the top of the fresh figs.
Scatter the chopped,toasted walnuts over the fig salad.
Just before serving, drizzle the honey dressing over the salad, and garnish each plate with 1 - 2 fresh fig leaves if available.
Serve with crusty bread and butter and mixed herb and salad leaves.
Can also be served as a dessert/cheese course combined.

Time 12m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

4 tbsp clear honey
1 tsp thyme leaves
1 tbsp cider vinegar
2 tbsp rapeseed oil
2 tbsp hazelnuts , toasted and roughly chopped

2 handfuls rocket leaves
200g stilton , thinly sliced
2 ripe figs

Steps:

Put the honey and thyme leaves in a small pan, then gently warm together for 2 mins - the honey shouldn't get hot enough to bubble. Set aside to cool. Make a dressing by whisking together the cider vinegar and rapeseed oil with some seasoning.
To serve, gently toss the chopped hazelnuts, fennel and rocket with the dressing. Divide the cheese between 4 plates, add a fig half to each, then a pile of the salad. Finally drizzle the thyme-infused honey over the figs and cheese.

FIG AND HONEY JAM WITH WALNUTS

Fig and Honey Jam with Walnuts image

I recently made a meat and cheese board for my family and wanted to make a jam/preserve with it that we normally wouldn't have. Figs came to mind and, after searching around a little and getting a few ideas, I came up with this. It was such a huge hit that I decided to share it. I hope that everyone enjoys it as much as we did! It will last for up to 30 days if you do not can it.
