To make the salad
Cut the figs and clean the oranges, wash and dry the rocket salad, cut the feta cheese
Heat a heavy skillet on the stove

Place the fig pieces in the caramelizing sugar. 'Fry' on one side for a minute, then turn the pieces and do it again.
Repeat with the remainder of the figs and then do the same with the oranges
The fruits should have a brownish color on the sides from the caramel
Place all the fruits on a plate to cool down
Then add the anise seeds and heat briefly. Take the pan off the heat.
Subsequently add all the lemon juice and the anise liquor and stir
All the pan juices and caramel will mix together
Reserve the liquid pan mixture and use this as the dressing
Place the radichio leaves and the rocket greens on a large plate and cover with the feta cheese cubes
Nicely position the caramelized figs and orange pieces on top of the greens.
Drizzle the salad with the self-made dressing. And let stand for 20 min-2 hours.
