wintery starter with an oriental touch, tastes best slightly warm

Wash the arugula, spin dry, and arrange on plates. Wash the figs, remove the stems, and cut a cross-shaped incision about halfway across the top. Wrap the Serrano slices around the bottom of the figs, securing with toothpicks if desired. Carefully fill the fig slices with goat’s cheese. Place the figs on top of the arugula salad. Chop the walnuts, toast them with the raisins in a non-stick pan, and add the cinnamon. Combine the honey and balsamic vinegar, add them to the pan, and let them caramelize slightly. Pour the dressing over the salad and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
