Background

During the fig season figs are very cheap at the market, so I buy a lot to make jam, chutney, compote and puddings from them. I also put a few aside, which I add to my morning porridge or salad at lunchtime. This Italian fig and rocket salad with pancetta is one of my favourite autumnal dishes - perfect for an easy/lazy lunch or ideal as a starter at dinner parties. Make sure you use good quality balsamic vinegar - it makes such a difference!

Ingredients

4 ripe fresh figs
100g pancetta, diced
4 handfuls of wild rocket
For dressing:
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2-3 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp honey
1 tsp grated onion
1 small garlic clove, minced (optional)
Salt & pepper

Instructions

Put the pancetta pieces into a frying pan and cook until crispy, then drain them on kitchen paper towels.
Meanwhile, wash and pat-dry the figs, then cut them into thin wedges.
Whisk together the dressing, taste and adjust it, if necessary, to your liking.
Scatter the rocket leaves onto four plates or a big serving plate.
Arrange the fig wedges between the rocket leaves, scatter the pancetta on top, then drizzle with the dressing.
Serve immediately.
