Studio 10 figs, Jamon Serrano, macadamias
Description
Figs might fly and they sure did when I transported them down to Studio 10 last week. Now, I have had some great moments in my working life but being on set with Angela Bishop and the hilarious Richard Reid is a highlight. The best thing about live TV is that it’s quick, upbeat and spontaneous and oh so much fun.
Ingredients
Fresh figs, Jamon Serrano, macadamias, watercress
8 figs, trimmed and quartered
2 tablespoons macadamias, roughly chopped
2 teaspoons macadamia oil
1/2 cup watercress, washed and dried
Salt and pepper
6 slices Jamon Serrano ham
1 tablespoon Black Betty Bam
1 tablespoon goat’s cheese – optional
Instructions
- Heat oil in pan over a moderate heat.
- Add Jamón Serrano and sauté for a few minutes, turning figs to heat through.
- Place watercress in a mixing bowl, season with salt and pepper.
- Add a drizzle of macadamia oil.
- Smear a dollop of turmeric dressing onto two serving plates.
- Add watercress, then arrange jamon serrano slices, figs and macadamias.
- Add a crumble of Black Betty Bam and goat’s cheese if using – and serve.
Notes
Macadamias are rich in omega 7 essential fatty acids and the figs are sweet and delicate and renowned for their detoxifying actions and are one of the most alkalizing foods. Figs also balance acidic conditions that result from a diet rich in meat and refined food. Black Betty Bam is Sam Gowing’s paste for life.
