GRILLED FIGS WITH POMEGRANATE MOLASSES
These are wonderful. First you toss them in a mix of balsamic vinegar and olive oil, then you grill them on both sides just until they soften and grill marks appear (at which point they are warm all the way through and just beginning to become jammy), then you remove from the grill and brush with pomegranate molasses. It's a match made in heaven. Serve while the figs are still warm, as a first course with goat cheese, or as a dessert with ricotta or yogurt.

Steps:
- Prepare a hot or medium-hot grill or heat a grill pan to medium-hot. Cut figs in half.
- In a large bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Add figs to the bowl and gently toss until they are thoroughly coated.
- Place on grill or grill pan flat side down. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes (depending on the heat), until grill marks appear. Turn over using tongs or a spatula and grill for another 2 to 3 minutes on the other side.
- Remove to a platter or sheet pan and brush each fig on the cut side with pomegranate molasses (you don't need much).
- Arrange 2 slices of goat cheese and 2 to 3 whole figs (4 to 6 halves, to taste) on each of 6 serving plates, garnish with mint leaves, and serve.

[email protected]This recipe is a delightful fusion of flavors and textures! The grilled figs are caramelized and juicy, while the pomegranate molasses adds a tangy sweetness. The goat cheese and walnuts provide a creamy and nutty contrast. Highly recommended!
