Smells Like Summer - Salad
1 bunch of rocket
1 ½ oranges 80 grams feta cheese
3 fresh figs (out of season dried figs may be used)
30 grams cane sugar
1 shot of Raki/Tsipouro
40 grams chopped hazelnuts
1 egg yolk
20 grams olive oil
20 grams soya oil
Preparation:
Wash and dry the rocket. Cut, preferably by hand, into large pieces.
Peel one of the oranges with a knife, taking care to remove as much of the pith as possible, and then cut into segments
Place the figs in a frying pan and sauté in 10 ml of olive oil, add the cane sugar. Flambé the figs with a shot of raki, and then pour the sauce onto the chopped rocket leave.
Sauté the crushed hazelnuts in a little oil, set the hazelnuts aside keeping some of them for garnishing the salad afterwards.
Beat 1 egg yolk well, adding first the soya oil slowly to the beaten egg yolk and afterwards the olive oil. Beat well until the sauce thickens. (This is a base for mayonnaise) Then add some orange juice and the sautéed hazelnuts.
Crumble the feta onto the rocket; dribble the sauce slowly onto the salad. Decorate with the remainder of the hazelnuts and orange segments plus a pinch of oregano. Bon appétit!
