Ingredients
| 1 Tbsp | Butter |
| 2 Tbsp | Honey |
| 12 | Figs |
| ¼ cup | Pistachio nuts, roasted and roughly chopped |
| 2 tsp | Rosewater, or to taste |
| 1 to serve | Cream |
| 1 to garnish | Halva, available from Middle Eastern food stores |
Directions
- Preheat oven to 200C. Grease a baking dish. Slice the figs and arrange in the dish. Drizzle with honey and rosewater then bake for 20 minutes or until they begin to colour and caramelise.
- Serve the figs sprinkled with pistachios, crumbled halva and softly whipped cream.
Chef's tip
Buy your figs only 2-3 days before using. They are very perishable - look for plump, soft figs with firm stems that smell mildly sweet. If not using straight away, keep in the fridge.
