GRILLED FIGS WITH POMEGRANATE MOLASSES



Grilled Figs With Pomegranate Molasses image

These are wonderful. First you toss them in a mix of balsamic vinegar and olive oil, then you grill them on both sides just until they soften and grill marks appear (at which point they are warm all the way through and just beginning to become jammy), then you remove from the grill and brush with pomegranate molasses. It's a match made in heaven. Serve while the figs are still warm, as a first course with goat cheese, or as a dessert with ricotta or yogurt.

GRILLED PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED FIGS STUFFED WITH GOAT CHEESE



Grilled Prosciutto Wrapped Figs Stuffed with Goat Cheese image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 Black Mission figs, cut in 1/2
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar, plus extra for dressing
Crushed red pepper flakes, optional
12 slices prosciutto
1/2 log goat cheese
Extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups baby arugula
1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano, shaved with a vegetable peeler
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the grill and brush with a grill brush to remove any excess crud and fat. After brushing, run an oiled towel over the grates to pick up any loosened crud or soot.
  • Drizzle each fig half with vinegar and fill each fig center with goat cheese. Sprinkle a couple flakes of crushed red pepper, if using, on top of the goat cheese and wrap each fig with a slice of prosciutto. Paint the outside of each fig very lightly with olive oil.
  • Put the figs on a cooler spot of the preheated grill. The idea here is that we want to grill the figs gently to cook the fig all the way through but to still get the char on the outside. Grill the figs on all sides so the prosciutto is starting to become crispy and the fig feels soft when squeezed, about 5 to 6 minutes.
  • While the figs are grilling, in a large bowl, toss the arugula with a little extra-virgin olive oil, some balsamic vinegar and the Parmigiano-Reggiano. Taste, and add salt, if needed. Arrange on individual serving plates or a serving platter and top with the figs. Drizzle a couple of drops of balsamic on each fig and serve.
  • Its figgy delicious!

Provided by Martha Stewart

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 ounces fresh soft goat cheese
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
24 fresh figs, mixed varieties
1/4 pound thinly sliced prosciutto
6 long woody sprigs rosemary
Olive oil for brushing and drizzling
