Grilled Figs With Mascarpone And Spiced Honey

Name: Grilled Figs With Mascarpone And Spiced Honey
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 4 Mission Figs, stems trimmed, halved lengthwise; 1 tablespoon olive oil; 1 teaspoon fresh mint leaves, chopped; 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar; 1/3 cup mascarpone, softened; 1/3 cup honey; 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom; 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice; 4 sprigs fresh mint

Servings: persons

1
Preheat a grill or grill pan to high heat. Spray with cooking spray so that the figs will not stick.
2
Halve the figs and arrange on a plate, cut side up. Brush with olive oil.
3
Combine the turbinado sugar and mint leaves and sprinkle over the figs.
4
When the grill is ready, add the figs cut side down. Grill until grill marks appear, about 1-2 minutes.
5
Add the honey, cinnamon, cardamom, and allspice to a small heat-proof bowl. Add the bowl to a small pot over simmering water (if you have a double boiler, that would work great!). Heat over medium, whisking constantly, until the honey is warm and smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
6
Remove the figs from the grill and add 2 halves to four plates. Add a teaspoon (or more if you'd like) of mascarpone on top of each half.
7
Drizzle the warmed honey over each fig half and garnish with mint sprigs. Top with lemon zest if desired.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
