Long summer days are meant to be spent swimming in the sea, soaking up much-needed, vitamin-D-filled sunshine and taking long walks on warm nights filled with still air, not overheating in the kitchen. The only solution on days like these, is to head to the market to buy some freshly sliced prosciutto, syrupy figs and still warm baguette. Pour yourself a chilled drink. Slice the bread, tear the figs in half and squeeze onto the bread and top with a slice of prosciutto. Toast your ingenuity on maximising your satisfaction for minimal effort. Happy days. If you like, you can add goat's cheese or gorgonzola (blue cheese) to the toast. There is also a salad version with rocket / arugula for those looking to reduce their carb intake.
