Published 11th March, 2020

Cuisine: Australian   Serves: 4

Preparation: 15 Mins   Cooking: 10 Mins

Ingredients

  • 12 ripe figs
  • 12 slices Barossa Fine Foods gypsy speck, thinly sliced
  • 150g Persian feta
  • Olive oil
  • Black pepper
  • 'The Figgery' Sticky Fig Syrup
  • Rocket leaves, to serve

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180℃.
  2. Wash the figs and slice a little piece off the bottom of each fig so that they sit flat (this step may not be required if the figs already sit up). Cut a cross into the top of each fig, halfway down the fruit, and gently separate the quarters to create an opening.
  3. Crumble or cut the Persian feta into pieces and stuff each fig with the feta, taking care not to overfill them.
  4. Wrap each fig with a slice of Gypsy speck and place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle each fig with a little olive oil and a sprinkle of cracked black pepper.
  5. Place the tray in the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the figs are cooked through and the feta is golden brown.
  6. Arrange the figs on plates, drizzle them with the sticky fig syrup and extra virgin olive oil, and serve with a rocket salad.
