Goats Cheese Salad
Goats Cheese roll
small mixed salad leaves (watercress, rocket etc)
cranberries (a handful per person)
Clementine juice (orange juice was stipulated in the recipe)
cassis
avocado oil (think olive oil was on the ingredients list)
pepper
The goats cheese is cut into portions and either the edge or the cut top/bottom rolled in pepper. These are quickly fried in a hot frying pan. When melted in the middle but still whole remove from the pan. wipe the pan clean and reduce the Clementine juice to concentrate for a few minutes. Add the cranberries and warm through. Remove from the heat, add the cassis, just a splash or two to add flavour, and the avocado oil.
Top the salad leaves with the cheese spoon over the cranberries and the sauce. Serve immediately.

Raw cranberries? That's really exciting. In my Amero-centric thinking, I had no idea you could get fresh cranberries in the UK.
Your fried goat's cheese salad is, of course, reminiscent of the classic Chez Panisse baked goat's cheese salad of yore.
Which reminds me of the time I was a brand-new lowly peon at a newspaper, and the food writer had done a story, interviewing Alice Waters, who was talking about rocket. Said food writer not being on the premises at the time her story was being edited, I heard the editor fuming: "What the hell is rocket?" I said it's called "arugula" in the US. He harrumphed. (I was new, after all. New people know nothing, right?) Then he looked it up. And I was right. And -- well, at most papers, the editor would have hated me from then on, but this guy was impressed.
