Ingredients

10 figs fresh, purple or green ones
150 gr mascarpone
3 tbl spoon fresh shopped mint leaves fresh peppermint,not the Morrocan sweet mint
1 tbl spoon honey
1 tbl spoon milk

Instructions

A super easy-to-make appetizer that you can put on the table in no time.
Rinse the figs. Cut them in half lengthwise and stick a cocktail stick through all half parts.
Put the mascarpone, chopped mint leaves, honey and the milk together in the blender. Note… there are many types of mint. For this dish I used fresh peppermint leaves (not the same sweet mint from the Moroccan mint tea)
Mix until the mint leaves are very fine and you get a light green cream.
Spoon a little of the mint mascarpone on each fig (or use a piping bag if you have one). Decorate each fig with a mint leaf and drizzle extra honey on top.
Are you an addict of black pepper? It may sound strange, but we also like this appetizer with a pinch of black pepper from the mill…

Notes

Figs from the garden… mint leaves from the garden and the honey comes from the village next door … I’ve also made this with the local goat cheese and it was sooo delicious….
