Makes 8 egg rolls

2 sweet potato, diced
1/4 c red onion, diced
6 dried figs, soaked in 1/3 c of scotch (it helps to heat it)
1/4 c herbed goat cheese
1/8c chopped fresh parsley
S&P
8 egg roll wrappers
oil for frying

Roast the potatoes and onions 30 minutes till soft.
Chop the figs (if you do this before the soaking, they'll absorb more scotch, up to you)
Blend all remaining ingredients once the potatoes are cool enough to handle. (except wrappers and oil, naturally)

Put 2T filling in the center of wrapper. Fold corners to center. Bring up bottom, then roll, placing seam side down till ready to fry.

I made a garlic honey mustard vinaigrette to serve with these.

All the individual flavours come through...you can certainly get the sweetness from the potato and the fig, but the goat cheese and caramelized onions balance that.

You can put anything you like in an egg roll wrapper!
