Best 4 Roasted Figs With Baby Greens And Honey Vinaigrette Recipes

CHESTNUT ROASTED FIGS WITH TRUFFLE VINAIGRETTE AND TRUFFLE CHEESE

Steps:

• Rinse the chestnuts under water. Take a sharp knife and score the flat side of the chestnut, making a cross. Toss nuts in a little oil and sprinkle with salt. Lay the oiled nuts out on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated 275-degree F oven for about 20 minutes or until fully roasted (shell opens). Let the chestnuts cool, and then peel and chop them. Chop half of the nut very finely and the other half coarsely.
• Cut the figs in half and place on skewers; 3 halves per skewer. Place the skewers on a baking sheet and drizzle with honey. Sprinkle the finely chopped chestnuts over the figs and place under a hot broiler and heat until browned.
• To make the dressing, combine the shallots, mustard, vinegar and thyme and whisk together. Slowly whisk in the oil and finish with the truffle oil and season with salt to pepper.
• To plate the dish, toss the mache in the vinaigrette, sprinkle with finely chopped chestnuts and place in the center of the plate. Place a warm fig skewer diagonally on top of the salad. Place coarsely chopped chestnuts around the plate. Sliver the truffle cheese and lay on top of the fig salad. Finally, drizzle some truffle vinaigrette around the plate.

WALNUT VINAIGRETTE OVER BABY GREENS WITH ROASTED BEETS

Steps:

• Vinaigrette -- In a small measuring cup or jar, baggie, whatever is easiest for you, mix all the ingredients, mix well and set to the side. I like to serve this dressing room temperature. I also don't like to over dress my salad and with the walnut oil it is a stronger dressing, so go lite and dress it according to how you like it.
• Beets and Vegetables -- In a large foil pouch, add the beets (I trim the ends) and drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper. Also I do the red in one pouch and yellow in another so the colors don't bleed. I do the shallots right on the baking sheet next to the shallots, also drizzled with olive oil, salt and pepper. Now the beets will take about 45-60 minutes depending on the size and the fennel about 20 and the shallots about 15, so I just remove them as they get done.
• After each of the vegetables cool, I then slice the shallots, fennel, cool the beets and remove the skin and slice. Place all the vegetables on a small plate so I can reheat in the microwave for just 1 minute in order to serve them warm over the salad.
• Plate -- Add salt and pepper to the vegetables if needed and reheat on medium heat 1 minute in the microwave - Just to warm up. For the salad, in a medium bowl, add the greens, and the dressing and toss well. Plate a bed of the greens for each person and then top with the warmed roasted beets, fennel and shallots. Top and garnish with the cheese and a few walnuts.
