Serves: 2
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 4 figs
- 100g Parma ham
- 100g Mozzarella cheese (preferably buffalo Mozzarella)
For the dressing:
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1 tsp French mustard
- 1 tsp wholegrain mustard
- 1 tsp honey
- 100ml best olive oil
- 25ml good Balsamic Vinegar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
Method:
Combine all the ingredients for the dressing in a jam jar, make sure the lid is on tightly and shake the living daylights out of it. - Leave it to sit for at least half an hour before serving to allow the garlic to infuse.
- Cut a cross in the figs ¾ of the way down and squeeze the side gently so that the fig opens out, and place on your serving dish. Tear the mozzarella into bite-sized chunks and scatter around the figs. Drape the Parma ham over and drizzle with a little of the dressing.
