Ingredients

• 8 ripe figs
• large knob of butter
• 4 tbsp clear honey
• handful shelled pistachio nuts or almonds
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon or mixed spice
• mascarpone or Greek yogurt, to serve

Method

1. Heat grill to medium high. Cut a deep cross in the top of each fig then ease the top apart like a flower. Sit the figs in a baking dish and drop a small piece of the butter into the centre of each fruit. Drizzle the honey over the figs, then sprinkle with the nuts and spice.
2. Grill for 5 mins until figs are softened and the honey and butter make a sticky sauce in the bottom of the dish. Serve warm, with dollops of mascarpone or yogurt.
