Be Prepared

Should you come across a lovely ripe fig here is a wonderful thing to do with it.



ROASTED FIG AND GOAT CHEESE SALAD

From ChezM

6 plump black figs

Vinaigrette: 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar and
1/3 cup olive oil, seasoned to taste

6 slices of a firm goat cheese
6 cups arugula or frisee salad greens

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and oil a casserole.

Score the bottoms of the figs and roast them for 10 minutes until they are soft.

Assemble the vinaigrette in a small container and toss half of it
with the greens. Distribute the greens among 6 plates.

Lay a slice of goat cheese on each bed of greens.

Top with a warm fig and drizzle the remaining vinaigrette over the figs before serving.
