Grilled Figs with Gorgonzola and Honey

There is nothing like the taste of fresh figs with gorgonzola and honey and so simple and healthy too as you can see from the link below. Here is a recipe which never fails to surprise and will enhance your culinary repertoire for any occasion.

Serves 4
This recipe can be made using raw ripe figs but the grilling adds warmth and flavour that complements the gorgonzola and honey. For more richness you could cook the figs on an oiled grate over hot charcoal.
You will need:
12 ripe figs
180g Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
Raw honey
Method:
Heat the grill. Slice the ripe figs in half, place them face down in a cast iron pan and place them under the hot grill until browned. When the figs are brown on one side, gently turn them over and grill the other side for a further couple of minutes until browned. Remove the figs from the pan and place them in a bowl. Sprinkle with Gorgonzola, drizzle with raw honey and serve immediately.
