- Place the onion, sugar, mustard seeds, cinnamon, star anise, ginger and vinegar in a saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for approximately 10–15 minutes until the onion is completely soft.
- Add the figs and cook for a further 5-10 minutes until they are soft and starting to fall apart and the chutney has thickened. Set aside and remove the cinnamon and star anise.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C. Brush the baguette slices with olive oil and toast for approximately 5–7 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Spread the fig chutney over toasted baguette slices, add shavings of Manchego cheese and a few rocket leaves. Serve immediately. Source: Olive Magazine/Immediate Media
