Grilled Figs

Preparation

1. For the Figs

   Step 1

   Heat a griddle, preferably cast iron, over medium-high heat.

   Step 2

   Cut the figs in half lengthwise and brush the cut sides with olive oil.

   Step 3

   Cook the figs on the griddle, cut side down, until tender and lightly browned, about 3 minutes.

2. To Serve

   Step 4

   Divide the figs among dessert plates and sprinkle lightly with fleur de sel. If you want, garnish with some freeze-dried raspberries and cilantro. Serve with a small bowl (or Chinese soupspoon) of granité. If you want a sauce, melt a little of the granité to drizzle onto the plate.
