Fresh Figs With Stilton and Walnuts in a Honey Drizzle Dressing image

A new fig recipe for this year! Similar to my Recipe #250866 but with blue cheese and a honey drizzle dressing. I like to tuck a few fig leaves amongst the salad for colour........but please do wipe them first! Serve these figs with crusty bread, some mixed herb and salad leaves.......and a glass of chilled wine. Quantities for figs depend on the size; allow one or two large figs per person or, between three and six for medium to small figs.This makes a fabulous dinner party starter, or a light salad for lunch..........I sometimes serve this for the cheese course too, for something a little different.

Time 5m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

24 -30 fresh figs, medium to large
6 -9 ounces blue cheese, such as Stilton or 6 -9 ounces Roquefort cheese
9 ounces walnut halves, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons clear runny honey
6 tablespoons walnut oil
1 tablespoon sherry wine vinegar
salt
black pepper
fresh fig leaf (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Toasted Walnuts:.
  • In a large, heavy frying pan, over a high heat, toast the walnuts for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove and set aside to cool.
  • Honey Drizzle Dressing.
  • Put the vinegar and a good pinch of salt and black pepper in a screw-top jar and shake until the salt has dissolved. Add the honey and walnut oil, then shake again to emulsify - the emulsion will hold for ten minutes or so, but give it another jiggle just before you use it to dress the salad.
  • Salad:.
  • Wipe the fresh figs gently, and cut them in half. Arrange them on a large platter, OR on individual plates - allowing 4 to 5 fresh figs per person, depending on the size.
  • Sprinkle 1 to 1 1/2 ozs of crumbled or sliced blue cheese per person, over the top of the fresh figs.
  • Scatter the chopped,toasted walnuts over the fig salad.
  • Just before serving, drizzle the honey dressing over the salad, and garnish each plate with 1 - 2 fresh fig leaves if available.
  • Serve with crusty bread and butter and mixed herb and salad leaves.
  • Can also be served as a dessert/cheese course combined.

I'm not a big fan of figs, but this recipe changed my mind. The figs were roasted to perfection and the Stilton cheese melted beautifully. The walnuts added a nice crunch and the honey drizzle dressing was the perfect finishing touch. I will definite

This recipe was a disaster! The figs were not ripe and the Stilton cheese was too strong. The walnuts were stale and the honey drizzle dressing was too sweet. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The figs were a bit bland and the Stilton cheese was too overpowering. I think I would have preferred a different type of cheese, such as a brie. The walnuts were a nice addition, though.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred a different type of cheese, such as a sharp cheddar. The figs were delicious, though.
