Figs Two Ways

Ingredients

• 6 Fresh figs halved
• 1 Pinch muscovado sugar for sprinkling
• 4 Shortbread biscuits to serve
• 4 Portions SuperValu vanilla ice cream to serve
• 1 Drop balsamic dressing
• 8 Fresh figs halved
• 100g Gorgonzola
• 8 Slices SuperValu parmahHam
• 1 Handful watercress or lamb's lettuce

Method

1. Figs with Gorgonzola and Parma Ham. Preheat the grill to high.
2. Smear a teaspoon of the Gorgonzola onto each of the halved figs. Wrap each fig in Parma ham, but not too much – aim for one and a half layers for each halved fig.
3. Place the wrapped figs on a baking tray and place under the hot grill until the ham starts to crisp up. Serve four halves per person with the lamb’s lettuce dressed with a little balsamic vinegar.
4. Dessert Figs. Preheat the grill to high.
5. Place the halved figs on a baking tray and sprinkle with a little muscovado sugar. Place under the hot grill for anything from 5 to 10 minutes, until the figs are caramelised on top.
6. Serve three halves per person while the figs are still warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a biscuit.
