Sweet figs baked with creamy feta and a spoonful of mango chutney make an elegant yet effortless starter. Served with peppery rocket, juicy orange segments and toasted walnuts, this colourful dish is perfect for festive entertaining


Ingredients

  • 50g walnut pieces
  • 4 ripe figs
  • 1 tbsp mango chutney
  • 100g vegetarian feta cheese, crumbled
  • black pepper, to season
  • olive oil, to drizzle
  • 60g rocket, to serve
  • 2 large oranges, segmented
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar glaze
  • 1 red chilli, sliced into thin strips

Here is some of the change-making work we do…

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C / 180°C fan / gas 6.
  2. Cut a cross into the top of each fig, taking care not to cut all the way through.
  3. Spoon a little mango chutney into each fig and top with the crumbled feta. Season with black pepper and a drizzle of olive oil.
  4. Place the figs in a small baking dish and bake for 8-10 minutes, until softened and the feta is beginning to colour.
  5. Meanwhile, spread the walnuts on a baking tray and toast in the oven for 5-7 minutes until lightly golden.
  6. Grill the figs for 7 minutes under a moderate heat until the cheese starts to bubble.
  7. Arrange the figs on serving plates with the rocket, orange segments, and toasted walnuts.
