fig and goats cheese salad by Recipes Made Easy

You do not get a dish much easier than this roasted Fig and Goats Cheese Salad but that doesn't mean it will not taste fantastic, it does! 

Perfect for easy entertaining, it takes just minutes to prepare and cook but looks really pretty.

I love this sort of dish, easy to prepare and cook but tasting amazing, as the flavour of the ingredients are allowed to shine.

Creamy goats cheese and a scattering of crunchy hazelnuts give the dish a variety of textures.

The balsamic vinegar gives a contrasting flavour to the soft sweet fig,  so that all the flavours and textures work well together.

Is also works really well topped off with parma ham which adds just enough saltiness to the dish to avoid further seasoning. Best of all it takes just minutes to prepare and 15 minutes in the oven to cook.

Instructions

    Before I was vegan, baked figs with dolcelatte was my usual starter when I gave dinner parties - now I make a vegan version with my cultured blue (cashew) cheese... but because the cheese takes several months to mature, it's now reserved for very special dinner parties!

    Regarding my favourite wine; for everyday purposes (I'm not a lush, I'm Italian, ha ha!), you can't beat a fresh young Valpolicella. When I go home to Venice for a visit, I head straight for a sfuso, and fill up a flagon (OK, a litre bottle)! For something a bit more special, then a good robust Barolo generally hits the mark. And when getting together with my best friend, only Prosecco will do - it's our travelling quaff too! Ha ha! And it's what I'll be opening when we move out of my MIL's, and into our new apartment in January!

    When I was much younger, Pinot Noir, from the foothills of the Carpathians was always my favourite... never did I dream I'd end up living in Transylvania, and drinking said wine with my neighbours on long summer evenings. My friends, Iacob and Emilia make the best wine ever! I left our Transylvanian village a mere three weeks ago, and already it feels like a lifetime. I miss my friends... but after living overseas for six years, it's good to be back in Britain again. And being back does mean I'll be a part of my granddaughter's life now!

I love how wine can bring back memories and help you relive special moments in your life. I know I asked it but I find it almost impossible to say what my favourite wine.
