Everyone will love this spectacular panna cotta and fig salad, which offers a creative take on the traditional Italian favourite.
Ingredients
- 3 gold-strength gelatine leaves
- 1 cup (250ml) pure (thin) cream
- 150ml thickened cream
- 150g gorgonzola dolce, chopped
- Grilled bread, to serve
Fig salad
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 figs, cut into quarters
- 2 cups rocket leaves, torn
- 1/4 cup (25g) walnuts, lightly toasted
Method
- Step 1Lightly oil four 1/2-cup (125ml) dariole moulds. Soak the gelatine leaves in cold water for 5 minutes. Place creams in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to just below boiling point. Remove from heat and whisk in cheese. Squeeze excess water from the gelatine, then add leaves to the cream mixture and stir to dissolve. Pour into prepared moulds, cover and chill overnight.
- Step 2The next day, prepare the salad. Whisk the balsamic and oil together, season, then toss with the remaining ingredients.
- Step 3Run a knife around the edge of the panna cotta moulds, then turn out onto plates. Serve with salad on the side, drizzling the panna cottas with any remaining dressing. Serve with bread.
