KITCHEN CAPERS braai
FIG & BLUE CHEESE SKEWERS
Roasting fruit over the open fire encourages a sticky caramelisation that balances the strength of the blue cheese
perfectly, and the walnuts add a nutty crunch.
• 9 fresh figs, halved
• Blue cheese, cut into 12 2cm cubes
• 50g roughly chopped walnuts
• 125g castor sugar
1. Thread figs and blue cheese onto skewers,
beginning and ending with a fig. Set aside
to braai.
2. Put sugar into a large frying pan and allow to melt
over medium heat. When sugar is an amber colour,
add nuts and pour out onto a greased baking sheet.
Spread out thinly and allow to cool.
3. Place skewers over warm coals and cook until figs
are warm and cheese is slightly melted.
4. Remove from heat and place onto platter. Sprinkle
over candied walnuts and serve immediately.
