GRILLED APRICOTS WITH GOAT CHEESE
INGREDIENTS:
12 apricots, halved and pitted
4 ounces fresh goat cheese, preferably ricotta or another soft artisanal goat cheese
Freshly ground black pepper
Sprigs of fresh rosemary or mint, leaves torn, for garnish, optional
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling, optional
Sea salt, for sprinkling, optional
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat a grill to 500 degrees F, or high heat.
Lay the apricots cut-side-down on the grill. Grill until the apricots have solid grill marks and release themselves easily from the grill, 3 to 4 minutes. If you try to remove them and they stick – let them be – they will release in time.
Transfer the apricots to a platter cut-side-up. Top the apricots with spoonfuls of the goat cheese, sprinkle with pepper and garnish with torn rosemary leaves if using. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt if using.
