Ingredients
- 4 figs, halved
- 2 cups watercress sprigs
- 1 cup rocket leaves
Dressing
- 1 tbsp malt vinegar
- 1 lime, juiced
- pinch sea salt
- pinch sugar
Dukkah
- ½ cup macadamia nuts
- pinch whole pepperberries
- ½ tsp coriander seeds
- ½ tsp cumin seed
- 1 tsp ground bush tomatoes
- 1 tbsp black sesame seeds
Instructions
- To make the dukkah, place all ingredients (except the sesame seeds) in a dry frying pan, then toast until golden and fragrant. Transfer the nuts and spices to a mortar and pestle and grind until the spices are crushed and the macadamias are the size of small chunks. Fold in the black sesame seeds.
- Place the figs, cut-side down, in the pan and char until golden and caramelised, then set aside.
- Combine the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk well to combine. Combine the watercress and rocket in a large bowl, then dress with the malt dressing. Divide the dressed leaves between plates, top with the charred figs and sprinkle with the macadamia and bush tomato dukkah.
