The best thing about the winter is warm food, especially food that is comforting. I like to combine different flavors for a prefect balance. This salad is also a great starter at a dinner party, as the first course. Let me know what you think...
Ingredients;
1 shallot, minced
6 large dried figs or 12 small, stems removed
1/3 c port
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
dash of salt and pepper
1/4 c olive oil
1 package of baby romaine
1/2 log of goat cheese
Cut the stems off the figs.
Evenly distribute the baby romaine into bowls and crumble the goat cheese, set aside.
Turn the heat on high and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to
the pan. Add the shallots and saute for 2-3 minutes, until they are
soft.
Add the figs, and saute for about a minute. Add the port, simmer for about 2 minutes, add the balsamic vinegar.
Add the olive oil and simmer for another minute.
Pour on top of the baby romaine and sprinkle with goat cheese. Serve immediately.
Thyme 2 taste....
TIP: You can also add walnuts to the salad, if you want to mix up the texture and dress it up some more.
