Method

Heat the grill to medium. Place the figs, walnut halves and goat’s cheese on a lined baking tray, then grill for 5-6 minutes, to soften the figs and cheese and bring out all the flavours.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lemon juice, olive oil, mustard and some freshly ground black pepper.
Place the pears and rocket in a large bowl and toss together with the dressing. Divide among 4 plates and top with the grilled figs, walnuts and goat’s cheese.
