INGREDIENTS:

Tarte fine aux figues

120gr puff pastry
6 almonds
8 pistachio
10 hazelnuts
10 raisins
8 ripe figs
1 soupspoon icing sugar
10gr butter

 

METHOD:

  1. Blend all nuts and raisins and preheat the oven at 180c (th6)
  2. Roll the pastry thinly and cut 4 circles (12cm diameter each) and put on a buttered pastry tray
  3. Wash but do not peel the figs and cut in fine slices
  4. Spread the nuts and raisin powder on the 4 pastry circles and top with a fan of figs and just before cooking sprinkle the icing sugar with a fine colander.
  5. Cook for 15 minutes and serve hot.

You can serve a lovely cassis white wine from the south of France which will enhance the flavour of the figs (only if they are ripe).
