Ingredients: Serves 6
1 pack of Great Glen Charcuterie Green Pepper Salami
210g blue cheese
9 figs
1 bag of mixed salad leaves
balsamic vinegar syrup
Flatbreads:
250g strong, white bread flour
5g salt
5g instant yeast
15g unsalted butter
about 150ml water
Method:
1. Put the flour in a large, warm mixing bowl and add the salt and the dried yeast. Add the butter and most of the water, then mix with your hands to bring the mixture together. Gradually add the remaining water until all the flour is mixed in.
2. Put the dough on a lightly floured board and knead for 5-10 minutes. When the dough feels smooth and silky, place it back in the mixing bowl, cover it with a warm tea towel and leave it in a warm place to rise for at least an hour until the dough has doubled in size. Tip the dough on to a floured surface, fold repeatedly until all the air is knocked out of it, then tear it into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.
3. Roll each of the balls into rough rectangles on a lightly floured surface. Place the flatbreads on baking trays and leave to prove in a warm place for 10-15min minutes. Then prick the middle with a fork to flatten them and bake for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown in a very hot oven.
4. Quarter the figs and then top each of the flatbread with the slices of Green Pepper Venison Salam, crumbled blue cheese, quartered figs, salad leaves and a drizzle of Balsamic.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
