Ingredients

  • 200g mixed leaves (spinach, rocket, beetroot etc.)
  • 12 fresh figs

For the ham

  • 2 slices of Parma ham
  • 50g blanched pistachio nuts

For the dressing

  • 4 tbsp Maille Sauternes white wine vinegar
  • 4 tbsp Maille olive oil
  • 4 tbsp hazelnut oil

For the mozzarella fritters

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 150 °C (Gas mark 5).

  3. Leave to cool and then crush them with the pistachios.
  4. In a bowl, make the dressing by first adding the honey and Maille Sauternes white wine vinegar and then pouring the oils in gradually, stirring vigorously.
  5. Break the eggs into a bowl, beat them and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Coat the mozzarella balls in flour, then in the beaten egg and finally in the breadcrumbs. For a crisper result and for added strength, repeat the coating process with the beaten eggs and breadcrumbs.
  7. Fry the mozzarella balls for about 1 minute in the oil at 160°C (they should be golden), then immediately drain them on some absorbent paper.
