Honey & Cinnamon Fresh Figs Desert

Honey & Cinnamon Fresh Figs.
Serves 4
Total time - 10mins

Ingredients
8 large ripe figs (Turkish ones are best when in season)
Large piece of butter
4 Tablespoons of honey
1 Teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1 Handful of almonds or pistachio nuts, crushed
Plenty of Greek yogurt to serve.

Method.

Get the grill on and set it to medium/high heat. Place the figs in a shallow oven proof dish (you will need a fairly large one depending on how fat your figs are. Slice a cross into the figs deep but just short of cutting all the way through. Now open the figs up so you can see the 4 quarters and their flesh.

Divide up the knob of butter with a knife and place 1 small piece into the middle of each fig. Now grab your honey (the squeeze bottles tend to be the easiest.) Pour the honey onto your tablespoon and drizzle 1 spoon at a time over all of the figs and around the dish.

Now add the nuts of your choice, here i chose almonds as i think pistachio is a little to sweet in addition to the honey and cinnamon. Crush them up a little using a pestle and motar, then sprinkle over and into the figs evenly.

Sprinkle the cinnamon (be careful to do this evenly) across the whole dish and place under the grill for around 5 mins or until the figs have softened.

Finally when the figs are grilled add a few generous dollops of the yogurt into the middle of the dish and serve to your table.
