Ingredients

6, halved (300g) Figs — One of the better fruit sources of calcium, and high enough in fibre that six of them is a real serving.
a small log (80g) Goat Cheese — Tangy enough to hold its own against very sweet fruit. It softens under the grill rather than melting away.
1 tbsp (15g) Honey — A thin drizzle after they come out, not before — under the grill it burns.
chopped (25g) Pistachios — The crunch, and the colour against the purple and white.
a few leaves (2g) Thyme — Picked off the stem, over the top. It stops the plate being purely sweet.
