Hey everyone its been a while. Life takes over and suddenly its March 2014. I have to admit Im pining for summer. The weather is all over the place and I miss bbqs and salads. I thought for my first blog Id crate something simple that I do in summer when the sun is shining and we feel like something sweet. Grilled Figs or Peaches or Nectarines are yummy. Combine them with honey and cheese and well what could be better?
Basically I wash and half 12 ripe figs. If using peaches or nectarines do the same thing but take the seeds out of the centers. Preheat a bbq until really hot.
I use either goats cheese or feta (Hubby prefers feta) and I place a small piece in the centre where the seed would be (with the figs you smear it across with a knife yumm).
Place cheese side up on the bbq and cook for 10 mins until they go slightly soft and the cheese is melted.
For a dressing put 1/4 cup of good quality olive oil, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and 1 tablespoon of runny honey in a jar and screw on the top and shake to mix.
Pull out a platter and put some rocket (arugula) on the bottom. Place the figs on and put more rocket between them. Spoon the dressing over the figs and leaves. Season and enjoy :)
