Ingredients

  • 8 medium figs (or substitute pear, grapes, or blackberries, depending on the season)
  • 250 g halloumi
  • 25 g orange blossom water (or orange zest)
  • 100 g honey
  • 100 g hazelnuts, lightly toasted and roughly chopped
  • 1 bunch fresh oregano, leaves only

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high.
  2. Cut the tip off the figs. Slice half the figs in quarters and some in discs. Slice halloumi into 75mm -1cm slices. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the top of the haloumi.
  3. Heat honey and orange blossom water in a small saucepan to a gentle simmer, ensuring it is thoroughly mixed.
  4. Meanwhile, grill halloumi, turning once, using a high enough heat to gain good grill marks.
  5. Present halloumi and figs on a plate; sprinkle over hazelnuts and oregano leaves before drizzling over honey mixture.
