http://schneiderchen.de | © 2011 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




A stylish seasonal dish made from fresh ripe figs, creamy mild Chavroux, and crunchy pistachios, served with a green pepper grape syrup. You can serve this as an appetizer, a snack or even as a light dessert.

Stuffed Roasted Figs with Goat Cheese and Pistachios

adapted from Küchengötter
  • 250 ml Grape juice
  • 5 tsp Honey
  • 1/2 tsp Green peppercorns
  • Fresh thyme
  • 30 g Pistachio nuts
  • 100 g Fresh goat cheese
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 Fresh figs
  1. Place grape juice and 3 teaspoons of honey in a saucepan. Cook the mixture on high heat until it becomes syrupy, about 15 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 220C/430F. Crush the green peppercorns with a mortar and pestle and add to the grape syrup. Finely chop the pistachios.
  3. In a bowl, stir together fresh goat cheese, 2 teaspoons of honey, thyme leaves, and freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Slice each fig in half lengthwise. Make a depression in the middle with the back of a teaspoon. Fill the depression with goat cheese filling. Place them in a baking dish. Switch the oven function to grill and roast the filled fig halves for 6-8 minutes until the goat cheese is lightly browned. Serve with the grape syrup.

Those fat figs look incredibly good. Love the presentation and the grape and honey syrup, too, as they makes the dish even more luscious.

OOh yes, I love Figs, and I love pistachios. I've never had the sense to try goats cheese (at least while sober enough to enjoy it...damn cocktail parties!) This sounds really interesting though - I love the picture of the figs lined up on the wooden plate. awesome!

I've always loved the combination of goat cheese and figs but you don't see it much. This bite full of scrumptiousness has me craving for one, two,...ten! I could easily eat them without the sauce but why? :) What a wonderful combination of flavors!
