Assemble the Fig Salad

Place figs in a bowl, crumble plant-based feta over them, and sprinkle with mint. Drizzle with balsamic glaze.

Cook the Juicy Marbles Filet

Season the filet with salt, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
Heat a pan with sunflower oil and sear the filet on low-medium heat until crispy on both sides.
