Walnut salad with warm figs, grana padano and watercress
Today, another walnut dish. Combined with very special other ingredients, this dish has a great taste. This dish is excellent as a lunch, starter or main course. Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 75g
walnut halves
- 6
fresh & ripe figs, quartered
- 2
tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1
tbsp runny honey
- 30g
roughly grated Grana Padano (Italian cheese)
- 75g
watercress (remove thick stems)
- 1
tbsp olive oil
Preparation
- Roast
the walnuts in a pre-heated and dry frying pan.
- Transfer
them from the pan into a bowl and set aside. Pour the honey into it and melt it
on low heat. Pour in the balsamic vinegar, add the figs and cook for 1-2
minutes. Remove from the heat. Put 4 plates out and dress the watercress on
them. Then spoon over the figs and juices. Take the reserved walnuts and
sprinkle on the plates, and do the same with the Grana Padano.
- Sprinkle
the olive oil on to the salad, or serve separately, and serve immediately.
