Recipe preparation:
1 Trim the fat end of each fig so that the fruit stands up-right. 2 Cut the thin end with a cross to open up the figs but still keeping them in one piece. 3 Mix the Lemon Myrtle into the ricotta, preferably at least 2 hours before serving as this allows the flavours to really penetrate the cheese. 4 Place a tablespoonful of the prepared cheese in each cross cut fig. 5 Grill until the figs are warm and the cheese just bubbles. 6 Plate up the figs, drizzle with the grape nectar and garnish with the toasted macadamia nut pieces. 7 Serve immediately with a strong coffee for that hint of bitterness to add to the complexity of taste.
