Grilled Fig And Orange Blossom Yogurt Sundaes Recipes

Steps:

• Toss 16 halved fresh figs, 1/2 cup chopped pecans, 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon each honey, lemon juice and water in a shallow baking dish. Dot with 1 tablespoon chopped butter. Roast at 425 degrees F until juicy, about 20 minutes. Spoon the juices over the figs, then continue roasting until syrupy, about 10 more minutes. Serve over vanilla ice cream.

Steps:

• Prepare a hot or medium-hot grill or heat a grill pan to medium-hot. Cut figs in half.
• In a large bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Add figs to the bowl and gently toss until they are thoroughly coated.
• Place on grill or grill pan flat side down. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes (depending on the heat), until grill marks appear. Turn over using tongs or a spatula and grill for another 2 to 3 minutes on the other side.
• Remove to a platter or sheet pan and brush each fig on the cut side with pomegranate molasses (you don't need much).
• Arrange 2 slices of goat cheese and 2 to 3 whole figs (4 to 6 halves, to taste) on each of 6 serving plates, garnish with mint leaves, and serve.

Steps:

• Heat a griddle, preferably cast iron, over medium-high heat.
• Cut the figs in half lengthwise and brush the cut sides with olive oil.
• Cook the figs on the griddle, cut side down, until tender and lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
• Divide the figs among dessert plates and sprinkle lightly with fleur de sel. If you want, garnish with some freeze-dried raspberries and cilantro. Serve with a small bowl (or Chinese soupspoon) of granité. If you want a sauce, melt a little of the granité to drizzle onto the plate.

Steps:

• Pre-heat the grill.
• Trim fig stems, if any, and cut figs in half length-ways.
• Lightly butter a shallow baking dish. Place the figs curved side down in the dish. Sprinkle each fig with a little brown sugar. Sprinkle nuts over figs, if using.
• Grill figs for about 3-4 minutes or until the sugar starts to bubble.
• Meanwhile, combine ricotta and honey in a bowl and stir until smooth and creamy.
• Remove figs from the oven and gently place on serving plates with a dollop of honey ricotta.
• Garnish with mint leaves and serve. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to high or the oven to 450˚.
• Rinse the figs and pat dry. With a paring knife cut a small slit in the bottom of each fig. Insert a cube of cheese and with your fingers gently squeeze the opening closed. Wrap one slice of prosciutto around each fig, rolling the fig to blanket it completely. Repeat with the remaining figs and place on the grill. With the lid close, grill until the figs are browned on one side, about 4 minutes. Flip the figs and repeat.
• Alternatively, preheat the broiler to high and place the figs in a roasting pan. Broil until browned, about 2 minutes. Flip the figs and broil another 2 minutes or until golden brown and soft.
• Place the warm figs on a serving platter and drizzle with the oil and vinegar. Sprinkle with the salt to taste. Serve immediately.
