Mum had fresh figs off both her tree and Grandma's, and a friend of a friend has been making honey - Remuera Gold, he calls it. Cue: roasted fresh figs with ricotta and honey. I simply cut them in half, dolloped a little ricotta on each and then drizzled over some honey. About 15 minutes at about 180*C did the trick - the honey caremelised, and the ricotta warmed. The result was like a fig tart, but without the calories pastry brings. A perfect light dessert or decadent afternoon tea.
Figs and honey have got to make you feel a little better? I hope to whip up the same combo in ice cream this weekend. Take care and hole the you feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteI hope you start to feel better from your magical treats. I tried a fig for the first time ever on Saturday and it had been injected with manuka honey. It wasn't offered as a remedy but as a delightful nibble. I love the idea of an afternoon tea without the calories. It's coming up to 3pm here...and starting to feel peckish. Too bad the snack box at work is filled with naughty things.
