Ingredients

350 gram dried figs, thinly sliced

1/3 cup balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoon brown sugar

2 30cm french breadsticks (baguettes)

1/4 cup vegetable or olive oil

250 gram light spreadable cream cheese

2 tablespoon chopped dill

Method

1.Place fig, vinegar and sugar in a glass or ceramic medium bowl. Cover with plastic food wrap; stand for 30 minutes to macerate, stirring occasionally.

2.Meanwhile, cut each breadstick lengthwise into 5 slices. Preheat a barbecue char-grill plate to moderate. Brush both sides of bread slices with oil. Add bread to grill; cook and turn for 1-2 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool.

3.Combine cream cheese and dill in a medium bowl. Spread cheese mixture over bread slices. Top with fig mixture, then rocket. Season. Serve.
