Grilled Figs with Honey, Walnuts and Yogurt
Ripe figs are halved and grilled until their edges caramelise and the honey drizzled over them turns syrupy, then piled onto cool Greek yogurt with toasted walnuts, a dust of cinnamon and a scrape of lemon zest. The contrast of warm charred fruit against cold tangy yogurt is the whole point of this simple Greek taverna dessert.

Instructions
1
Preheat the grill (broiler) to high and position a rack about 10cm from the heat source.
2
Halve the 160g of figs lengthways and arrange them cut-side up on a baking sheet.
3
Drizzle the figs with the honey, letting it pool slightly in the cut centres.
4
Grill for 5-6 minutes, until the fig edges char lightly and the honey bubbles and caramelises.
5
Remove from the grill and let the figs cool for 2-3 minutes on the tray.
6
Spoon the chilled Greek yogurt into two bowls and arrange the warm grilled figs on top.
7
Scatter over the chopped walnuts, a pinch of ground cinnamon, and the lemon zest just before serving.
