WEIGHT CONVERTER
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6.
- Cut a cross in the top of each fig and fill with the crumbled Gorgonzola. Cut the slices of Parma ham in half lengthways and wrap one piece around each fig. Put the figs on a small baking sheet and place them in the centre of the oven. Cook for 5-10 mins, until the cheese starts to melt.
- Meanwhile, to make the dressing: Whisk all the ingredients together. Divide the salad leaves between either 2 or 4 plates and put either 1 or 2 figs on the plates. Drizzle the dressing over the salad, plus a little over the figs, if you like. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Serve straight away.
Top Tip for making Parma-wrapped gorgonzola figs
If possible, choose a Gorgonzola “piccante”rather than the milder“dolce” type, for a tangy taste which contrasts well with thesweetness of the figs.
