Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 19

Bread dough
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon warm water (105°F to 115°F)
3/4 teaspoon active dry yeast
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon nigella (kalonji) seeds
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter, room temperature
Caramelized onions
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound onions (about 2 medium), cut into 1/3-inch-thick wedges through root ends
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon honey
1 tablespoon Sherry wine vinegar
1/2 cup crème fraîche
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Semolina flour (pasta flour)* or cornmeal
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • For bread dough:
  • Whisk 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon warm water and yeast in small bowl; let stand until yeast is dissolved, about 10 minutes.
  • Mix flour, nigella seeds, and salt in medium bowl. Add yeast mixture and stir with wooden spoon until mixture clumps together. Add butter; mix until incorporated. Turn dough out onto lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Divide dough into 6 equal pieces; roll each into ball. Place on baking sheet; cover with plastic wrap. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Keep covered and refrigerate.)
  • For caramelized onions:
  • Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion wedges to skillet and cook without turning until beginning to brown, about 7 minutes. Carefully turn onions over; reduce heat to medium and continue to cook until onions are tender and brown, occasionally stirring gently, about 10 minutes. Add thyme and honey; cook 1 minute. Stir in vinegar. Seasonto taste with salt and pepper. Remove skillet from heat. Cool. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
  • Let dough rise in warm draft-free area until doubled, about 1 hour. Whisk crème fraîche and egg in small bowl to blend. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Sprinkle 2 rimmed baking sheets lightly with semolina flour. Roll out each dough ball to 5-inch round. Transfer 3 rounds to each prepared baking sheet. Let rest 10 minutes. Pierce dough rounds all over with fork. Spread 1 generous tablespoon crème fraîche mixture over each dough round, leaving 1/4-inch plain border. Arrange onions evenly atop each; drizzle lightly with crème fraîche mixture (mixture may spill over edges of dough).
  • Bake flatbreads until crusts are puffed and golden, about 12 minutes. Transfer to plates; sprinkle with chives.

CARAMELIZED FIGS WITH HONEY, THYME, CREME FRAICHE



CARAMELIZED FIGS WITH HONEY, THYME, CREME FRAICHE image

Categories     Fruit     Appetizer     Fry     Quick & Easy     High Fiber

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 T honey
6 plump figs, trimmed and halved
1 1/2 T unsalted butter
4 thyme sprigs plus extra for garnish
4 T creme fraiche

Steps:

  • Spoon honey over cut sides of figs. Heat a large heavy skillet over a medium high flame. Add butter. Throw in thyme sprigs and then figs, cut side down. Cook undisturbed for 3-5 mins to caramelize. Turn figs over and cook 1 minute more. Transfer figs to plate. Return skillet to heat and add about 5 T water. Simmer, scraping the caramelized honey. Pour this sauce over figs and serve warm with spoonfuls of creme fraiche and extra thyme leaves to garnish.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use ripe, fresh figs. If your figs are not ripe, you can ripen them by placing them in a paper bag with a ripe apple or banana for a few days.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the figs in the pan. If you do, they will not caramelize properly.
  • Cook the figs over medium heat. If you cook them over too high heat, they will burn.
  • Stir the figs occasionally to prevent them from burning.
  • Do not add the honey and thyme until the figs are almost caramelized. If you add them too early, they will burn.
  • Serve the figs immediately with crème fraîche or yogurt.

Conclusion:

Caramelized figs are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that can be enjoyed on their own or served with ice cream, yogurt, or crème fraîche. They are also a great addition to cheese plates and charcuterie boards. The next time you have fresh figs on hand, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
