Figs with mint, mascarpone and honey
Tasty sweet figs from our own garden with a mix of mascarpone, fresh mint leaves and honey. Served cold, this is a wonderfully surprising appetizer.
Servings: 4 perons
Equipment
- cutter / blender
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....
