1 tbsp olive oil
3 large ripe figs, torn into 2 or 3 pieces (6 oz)

1½ tbsp thyme flower honey or another floral honey

2. In a bowl mix the peaches, nectarines and apricots that you are grilling with the oil.

3. Place them on the griddle pan and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until they are slightly softened. Remove and set aside to cool.

4. Mix the yogurt with the honey and orange blossom water.

5. Stir in the lemon juice, if using, and refrigerate until needed.

6. Before serving, arrange the peaches and apricots on a large platter and dot the torn figs on top.

7. Spoon the yogurt sauce over the fruit, leaving parts of the fruit exposed.

8. Sprinkle over the ground seeds and finally scatter with the fresh basil leaves.

Serve at once.

Enjoy!
