By polloazul

Ingredients

• 250 ml Grape juice
• 5 tsp Honey
• 1/2 tsp Green peppercorns
• Fresh thyme
• 30 g Pistachio nuts
• 100 g Fresh goat cheese
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 3 Fresh figs

Preparation

Step 1

Place grape juice and 3 teaspoons of honey in a saucepan. Cook the mixture on high heat until it becomes syrupy, about 15 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 220C/430F. Crush the green peppercorns with a mortar and pestle and add to the grape syrup. Finely chop the pistachios.

In a bowl, stir together fresh goat cheese, 2 teaspoons of honey, thyme leaves, and freshly ground black pepper.

Slice each fig in half lengthwise. Make a depression in the middle with the back of a teaspoon. Fill the depression with goat cheese filling. Place them in a baking dish. Switch the oven function to grill and roast the filled fig halves for 6-8 minutes until the goat cheese is lightly browned. Serve with the grape syrup.
