FRESH FIG AND FETA SALAD WITH TOASTED WALNUTS
It's fig time here in SW France, and I have been busy making up new fig recipes, as well as making jams, pickles, alcohol steeped figs and chutneys with all our harvest! This was thrown together one Sunday afternoon as a starter for a lazy Al Fresco Sunday lunch - and since then I have had requests for it nearly every day! If you are lucky enough to have a fig tree, try and garnish the individual plates with a couple of washed leaves - it really adds a certain panache to the appearance of the salad! I have made this with Chevre - Goat's Cheese as well as Feta, and it was just as delicious. Amounts given are for a starter for 6 people - and assuming that the figs are medium to large in size; please adjust the quantities if necessary. Toasting the walnuts beforehand is well worth the effort, and if you toast more than is needed, any excess can be stored in an airtight container.

Steps:
- Toasted Walnuts:.
- In a large, heavy frying pan, over a high heat, toast the walnuts for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove and set aside to cool.
- Vinaigrette:.
- Put the vinegar and a good pinch of salt and black pepper in a screw-top jar and shake until the salt has dissolved. Add the mustard and walnut oil, then shake again to emulsify - the emulsion will hold for ten minutes or so, but give it another jiggle just before you use it to dress the salad.
- Salad:.
- Wipe the fresh figs gently, and cut them in half. Arrange them on a large platter, OR on individual plates - allowing 4 to 5 fresh figs per person, depending on the size.
- Sprinkle 1 to 1 1/2 ozs of crumbled feta or goat's cheese per person, over the top of the fresh figs.
- Scatter the chopped,toasted walnuts over the fig salad.
- Just before serving, drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad, and garnish each plate with 1 - 2 fresh fig leaves if available.
- Serve with crusty bread and butter.
- Can also be served as a dessert/cheese course combined.

Steps:
- Toast the walnuts in a dry pan (I always use cast iron to toast nuts) until lightly browned and fragrant. Set aside.

- In a large skillet over medium, heat the oil.
- Add the sprouts to the pan.

APPLE CIDER GLAZED DOUGHNUTS WITH BACON AND TOASTED WALNUTS
Provided by Anne Burrell
Time 30m
Yield 6 doughnuts
Number Of Ingredients 17
Steps:
- For the topping: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Place the walnuts on a baking sheet in a single layer and toast until golden brown and fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes. Let cool slightly and chop. Put in a shallow dish with the bacon and mix together. Set aside.
- For the apple cider glaze: In a small saucepot, add the apple cider, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon and a squeeze of lemon juice. Bring to a boil over high heat and then reduce to a simmer. Simmer until syrupy and reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Let cool.
- Put the confectioners' sugar in a bowl and slowly pour in 1/4 cup of the glaze, a little at a time. Whisk together until smooth.
- To top the doughnuts: Gently dip the top of each plain doughnut into the glaze and let any excess drip back into the bowl. Next, lightly dip the glazed tops into the chopped walnuts and bacon. Place on a wire rack to let set.
- Bring the milk to a simmer in a 1-quart heavy saucepan, then remove from the heat and stir in the sugar and salt. Pour into a large bowl and let cool slightly.
- While the milk is cooling, dissolve the yeast in 2 tablespoons warm water in a small bowl, stirring. Let stand for 5 minutes.
- Stir the yeast mixture into the milk mixture along with the oil, lemon zest and eggs. Stir in 2 1/2 cups of the flour with a wooden spoon to make a very soft dough. Spread 1 cup of the flour on a work surface and put the dough on top, scraping it from the bowl with a rubber spatula. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes, incorporating all of the flour from the work surface and adding just enough additional flour (if necessary); the dough should be slightly sticky. Transfer the dough to an oiled large bowl and sprinkle lightly with additional flour. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm draft-free place until doubled in bulk, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll out with a floured rolling pin until 1 inch thick. Cut out rounds with a 2-inch cutter. To make ring shapes, cut out doughnut holes with a 1-inch cutter. Place on a baking sheet, cover the doughnuts with another kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
- While the doughnuts rise, heat about 10 cups vegetable oil in a deep 4-quart pot until it registers 365 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Fry the doughnuts 2 at a time, turning once or twice, until puffed and golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per batch. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
