- 1 fresh, ripe fig
- 55g/2oz goats' cheese
- 1 handful rocket leaves
- 1 tomato, chopped
- ½ lemon, juice only
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
- Place the fig on a baking tray. Using a sharp knife, carefully make an incision halfway down the fig in the top in the shape of a cross, so the top of the fig opens up when squeezed lightly.
- Crumble the cheese into the exposed centre of the fig and bake in the oven for 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese starts to melt.
- In a bowl, mix together the rocket and tomato with the lemon juice and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- To serve, arrange the rocket and tomato salad on a serving plate and place the baked fig on top.
