Categories     side-dish

Time 15m

Yield 24 apricot halves

Number Of Ingredients 6

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

Steps:

  • 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.
