We are having a dinner party upon my return up North and so I am trying to get a jump on the menu. I read an article on the plane about a recipe using roasted figs and I can't get the roasted fig part out of my brain, though the rest of the recipe is lost to me. I found a recipe for a Veal Roast with fresh figs and rosemary that sounds divine and perfect for a winter's night. Recommend serving it with a porcini risotto, frise salad and an aged Bordeaux. Now of course, I just have to find a veal roast and fresh figs somewhere in Belfast!
