Инструкции
- Brace yourself for a peak sensual experience.
- * Use only the ripest, most flavorful figs. If they're out of season, you could substitute another soft-fleshed ripe fruit, like pears, nectarines, apricots, or possibly cherries.
- * Mascarpone is a sublimely smooth, slightly sweet Italian cream cheese. If you cannot get mascarpone, substitute a high-quality cream cheese. Also, if you cannot get gorgonzola, replace it with a good brand of domestic blue cheese.
- * Filled Figs are good at room temperature or possibly cool. They'll keep for several days; carefully seal up the whole plate of figs and chill.
- Yield: 12 filled fig halves
- Preparation Time: 10 min
- 1. Place the mascarpone in a small bowl and stir to soften. (Be patient-it's a bit sticky.) Slowly stir in the crumbled gorgonzola and 3 Tbsp. of the toasted, cooled pine nuts, and mix till it is well blended. Add in a dash of salt to taste, if you like.
- 2. Cut the figs in half lengthwise, so they can retain their lovely shape. Use your finger or possibly the back of a tsp. to slightly depress the open center of each fig, then sprinkle the figs with a little lemon juice.
- 3. Mound a small amount of the cheese mix in the middle of each open fig, pressing down lightly. Drizzle a little honey over the filling, and place a few extra pine nuts decoratively on top.
- 4. Arrange the stuffed figs on your favorite small, fancy plate, and scatter some lavender blossoms and/or possibly leaves among the figs. Cover the plate tightly with plastic wrap, and chill till serving time.
