Warm fig salad

When I spotted some lonely looking figs in the fruit & vegetable section in work last night I couldn't leave them after me. I love all types of figs but a fresh one is hard to beat. Irresistible when baked with some honey in the oven, if you haven't tasted that yet, you haven't lived.

Simple lunch for one

2 figs
Drizzle of honey
2 slices of parma ham
Handful of walnuts, crushed
50g goats cheese
Handful of rocket

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
Cut a cross in the top of each fig and wrap it in parma ham.
Drizzle the inside of fig with a little honey.
Place in oven for 20 minutes or until fig has softened.
Place some rocket on the plate and put the figs on top. Arrange the goats cheese and sprinkle the walnuts over the dish.
Finish with a drizzle of honey & balsamic vinegar.
Perfect for a lunch for one or as a starter for a dinner party.
