Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Figs

Begin by gently rinsing the figs under cold water. Using a sharp knife, slice the figs into thin rounds, ensuring they remain intact. This presentation is key for the Carpaccio.

Once sliced, arrange the fig rounds in a circular pattern on a serving plate, overlapping them slightly.

Step 2

Create the Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and fresh lemon juice until combined. This will act as a light dressing that enhances the natural sweetness of the figs.

Drizzle this mixture evenly over the arranged fig slices, allowing it to seep between the layers.

Step 3

Add Toppings

Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese generously over the figs. This will add a creamy texture and a delightful tang.

Finish by scattering fresh mint leaves on top, along with a pinch of sea salt and a few cracks of black pepper for a light kick.

Step 4

Serve and Enjoy

Your fig carpaccio is now ready to serve! It's perfect as an appetizer or a light dessert. Enjoy this elegant dish with friends and family during your next gathering.

Don't hesitate to experiment with different toppings or garnishes based on personal tastes!
