Honey Broiled Figs With Ricotta Recipes

WHOLE ROASTED RICOTTA WITH HONEYED FIGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200ºC/gas 6.
• Place the bay in a roasting tray, pick over the oregano and sit the ricotta on top. Season generously.
• Halve and scatter the figs around the cheese, finely grate over the orange zest then drizzle everything with oil and honey.
• Rub the flavours into the cheese with your hands, then scatter over the remaining oregano, then roast for 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden and firm.
• Slice up the ciabatta, then peel and halve the garlic cloves. Preheat a griddle pan and griddle thin slices of ciabatta. Rub the toast with the cut side of the garlic. Drizzle with oil and leave to one side.
• Serve the roasted ricotta on a board with a stack of toast, the sticky figs and some rocket and picked fresh mint on the side.

FRESH FIGS WITH RICOTTA AND HONEY

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, split each fig down the middle, starting at the tapered stem and slicing down to the broad bottom, being careful not to cut all the way through the fig and stopping about 1/4 inch from the bottom of the fig.
• Scatter the pistachios in a shallow bowl or on a small plate. Drizzle the honey on a small plate.
• Using the tip of a smallish spoon, fill the split center of each fig with a generous dollop of ricotta.
• Gently grasp each fig by its sides but without tightly squeezing it. Dip the fig, bottom first, in the honey and then in the pistachios. Arrange the figs on a large plate or platter.
• Drizzle the figs with additional honey to taste and, if desired, sprinkle with the fresh mint. Serve as soon as you can...as if you could resist doing anything else. Originally published September 20, 2011.
