Ingredients

8 ounces goat cheese
1/4 cup pomegranate arils
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup diced fresh mango
1 cup chopped pistachios
10 fresh sage leaves (or 1 teaspoon dry sage leaves)

Method

Whip goat cheese until soft, then gently fold in mango and pomegranate. Shape into a log in food-safe wrap and chill for at least 3–4 hours.
Melt butter and fry fresh sage for 1–2 minutes per side. Drain, crumble and mix with pistachios; use dried sage in the coating if choosing that option.
Roll the chilled cheese in the coating. Refrigerate again, then let it soften slightly before serving.
