Instructions

1. If using preserved vine leaves, oak in water for a while to remove the brine flavour. Place the Goat's cheese in a bowl and mash with a fork until very smooth and soft.  Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a small nozzle.

2. Make an incision in the bottom of each fig. 

3. Fill the figs with the goat's cheese by squeezing a small amount of cheese into the bottom of each fig. The figs will swell up when filled.

4. Drizzle with a little honey then wrap each fig with a vine leaf and thread onto skewers.

5. Grill over hot coals for 2 to 3 minutes, turning once. 

6. To serve - arrange the salad leaves on a serving platter, place the figs on top and drizzle with a little more honey. Serve immediately. 

Can also be cooked under a conventional grill.
