Figs and Gorgonzola

For the almonds, place the nuts into a large frying pan with a generous drizzle of oil and a generous pinch of sea salt. Toast over a medium heat until the almonds have lightly browned and absorbed the oil

Taste and add more seasoning if necessary. Remove from the pan and set aside until required

Cut the figs in half and place on an oven tray, cut-side up. Drizzle evenly with honey and dusting of the caster sugar

Place the lemon thyme on a board and bruise gently using the back of a knife, then sprinkle over the figs

Place the figs under a grill on a very low heat. Heat until the tops of the figs start to soften, swell slightly and absorb the honey and sugar. Remove from the heat and set aside

To serve, divide the Gorgonzola into 4 equal portions and place onto plates alongside the figs. Drizzle with some more honey and a dash of balsamic. Garnish with the almonds and a few washed rocket leaves. Serve immediately
