Fresh Grilled Figs with Mascarpone, Pistachios and Honey

Fresh Grilled Figs with Mascarpone, Pistachios and Honey

Makes 16 appetizers

What you’ll need:

¼ cup unsalted shelled pistachios

8 fresh figs, any type

¼ cup mascarpone or ricotta cheese

1 Tablespoon honey (orange honey preferred)

Finishing salt to taste

Grind of fresh black pepper

Steps:

  1. Toast the pistachios in a small dry skillet over medium-high heat until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Set aside to cool, then chop coarsely and set aside.
  2. Cut each fig in half and drizzle with just a little olive oil. Place figs on a hot grill until grill marks form and the fig is warmed through. You can also use a hot grill pan on the stovetop.
  3. Cool somewhat and place the figs on a serving dish, cut side up.
  4. Put 1 teaspoon Mascarpone or ricotta cheese on each fig half and sprinkle with pistachios.
  5. Drizzle with honey, sprinkle with a dash of finishing salt, a grind of pepper and serve.
