Sophie Dahl's grilled figs with ricotta and thyme honey

You will need
6 figs, quartered but still whole
Tiny dots of unsalted butter
1 tbsp of thyme honey
2 slices of ricotta

Method
1. Preheat the grill. Wash the figs and carefully cut them open – score them twice. Dot each one with a mini amount of butter and do the same with the honey – just a quick drizzle on each one, not a monsoon cloud.
2. Put on a baking tray/cookie sheet under a searing grill for two minutes. Serve with a slice of ricotta, draped with another dignified slip of honey.
