Cooking Instructions

  1. Place the goat’s cheese in a bowl with the almonds and preserved ginger and mix until well combined.
  2. In another bowl, mix the crushed ginger biscuits with the panko breadcrumbs, salt and pepper.
  3. Transfer the crumb mixture to a shallow bowl or plate.
  4. Roll the goat’s cheese mixture into equal bite-sized balls, dip each ball into the beaten egg and then into the crumb mixture. Coat the balls evenly on all sides.
  5. Whisk all the ingredients (3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 3 tbsp blueberry, strawberry and blackcurrant preserve, 1 tbsp honey, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper) for the salad dressing together and set aside.
  6. Heat a non-stick saucepan over a medium-high heat and warm the olive oil.
  7. Add the coated goat’s cheese balls and cook for 1 – 2 minutes or until the coating is golden brown, the goat’s cheese is warm and starting to soften, but still holding its shape.
  8. Carefully remove the goat’s cheese balls from the saucepan and transfer them to paper towels.
  9. For the salad, toss the mixed greens and herbs with the salad dressing in a large bowl.
  10. Divide the salad evenly between 4 plates or bowls, then top each salad with the goat’s cheese balls and fresh berries.
  11. Serve immediately.
