Grilled Figs With Goat Cheese
Serves 4
This is the simplest and one of the healthiest of sophisticated desserts – or, if you wish, serve it as a starter. Who cares? It’s delicious whenever you eat it. The sweetness of the figs goes brilliantly with the slight sourness of the goat cheese. And the honey gives it a wonderful golden glaze.
8 ripe fresh figs
225g / 8 oz semi-hard goat cheese, not the very soft spreadable varieties
Runny honey for drizzling
Halve the figs lengthwise. Cut the goat cheese into approximately 1 cm (½ in) slices trimmed to fit on top of the figs.
Put into an ovenproof dish. Heat the grill to its hottest. Put the figs and cheese under the grill for about 2 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling and golden.
Drizzle over the honey to serve.
Fresh extra
As an alternative, sprinkle the figs with dry-fried sesame or pistachio nuts before drizzling over the honey.
