How To Make stuffed apricots with goat cheese and pistachios
-
1In a food processor or mini-chopper, blend the goat cheese, cream cheese, rosemary and lemon zest until the mixture is smooth. You want to make sure in particular that the rosemary has been chopped finely - there's nothing worse than biting down on a big stick of rosemary.
-
2Transfer the cheese mixture to a piping bag with a small star tip. Don't worry if you're less than proficient with a piping bag, it won't matter once the apricots are done.
-
3Arrange the apricot halves cut-side up on a large tray or serving plates. In the center of each apricot, pipe a mound of the cheese mixture.
-
4Sprinkle with the chopped pistachios. Dust with a healthy pinch of salt and a grind of pepper.
