FIGS IN BLANKETS WITH PORT-MUSTARD SAUCE



Figs in Blankets With Port-Mustard Sauce image

This clever riff on the classic pigs in blankets comes from a Champagne bar, with branches in San Francisco and New York, where they're made with fresh figs. Using dried figs gives them year-round adaptability. The figs are plumped in port and stuffed with Stilton, though any blue cheese will be fine. The port used for soaking is reduced to a syrup, and flavors a mustard sauce. The figs in blankets are a great holiday tidbit with white, red, rosé or sparkling wine, with cocktails or punch. Serve them alongside a salad or as part of a cheese course. They're easily prepared in advance and frozen. The puff pastry is quick to prepare in a food processor using frozen butter. The figs in blankets can also be made with purchased puff pastry; one pound is what you'll need.

Time 1h30m

Yield 48 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 7

48 small dried mission figs, stemmed, or 24 larger dried figs, stemmed and halved vertically
1 1/2 cups tawny port
1 cup/225 grams salted butter (2 sticks), frozen
1 1/2 cups/190 grams all-purpose flour, plus extra for rolling
1/2 cup/125 milliliters full-fat sour cream
3 ounces Stilton or other blue cheese
1/3 cup Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Place figs in a 2-quart saucepan, add port, bring to a simmer, remove from heat and let soak, covered but not refrigerated, overnight.
  • Make the dough: Cut the frozen butter in 8 pieces and grate using a shredding disc of a food processor. Change to the regular blade. Add the flour and pulse 15 or 20 times, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the sour cream and pulse for a minute or so until the dough starts to come together.
  • Turn the dough out on a floured surface and knead briefly to form a smooth ball. Divide the dough in half and flatten each piece. Place each in a resealable sandwich bag, press out any air, seal the bag and use a rolling pin to roll the bag until the dough fills the bag, forming a square. Refrigerate 2 hours or overnight.
  • Drain figs, reserving the port; you should have about a half cup of the port. Spread figs on several layers of paper towel to dry for about 30 minutes. Return the port to the saucepan and boil 6 to 8 minutes until syrupy and reduced to 1/4 cup. Remove from heat and set aside. Cut a slit in each of the figs and insert a small nugget of the cheese, less than a half-inch, in each.
  • Remove the dough from their bags by cutting the bags and peeling them off. On a lightly floured board roll one square of the dough into a rectangle 8-by-12 inches. Cut it in 8 strips each an inch wide, across the width of the rectangle. Cut each strip in thirds. You should have 24 pieces, each 1-by-4 inches. Wrap 24 of the figs in the strips of dough, moistening the ends to seal. Cover a baking sheet with foil. Place the wrapped figs on the baking sheet, seam side down. Repeat with the other square of dough and figs.
  • Make the sauce: Stir the mustard into the reduced port and transfer to a serving dish. This mixture will keep, refrigerated in a covered container, at least three weeks.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Bake wrapped figs about 35 minutes, until golden. Some of the figs may have oozed residue of the port which can be brushed off. Serve the baked figs at once or let cool and refrigerate or freeze. To reheat, let them come to room temperature, then warm at 250 degrees for 15 minutes. Serve with port-mustard sauce alongside for dipping.

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons honey
3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
24 dried black Mission figs (medium or large), stems trimmed, halved

Transfer figs to a plate; let cool.
  • Beat egg with 1 Tbsp. water in a small bowl. If using a 14-ounce package with 1 sheet of pastry, roll pastry to an 18x12" rectangle on a lightly floured surface. If using a 17-ounce package with 2 sheets of pastry, roll each sheet to a 12x9" rectangle. Cut pastry along the 12" side into 12 (1-inch-wide) strips. Cut each strip crosswise into pieces about 4 1/2" long. You should have 48 (4 1/2x1") strips pastry.
  • Scoop a heaping 1/2 tsp. cheese and press into cut side of 1 fig half. Place fig half in the center of 1 pastry strip. Brush 1 end of pastry with egg wash and roll to enclose. Transfer seam side down to prepared sheet. Repeat with remaining cheese, figs, and pastry. Brush top of each pastry with egg wash and sprinkle with seeds, if using. Bake pastries, rotating and switching sheets top to bottom halfway through, until golden brown and puffed, 15-18 minutes.
  • Do Ahead

Categories     Mustard     Onion     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Beef Tenderloin     Port     Red Wine     Gourmet

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 21

For the filets:
2 tablespoons olive oil
four 5- to 6-ounce filets mignons (each about 1 1/2 inches thick)
3 tablespoons minced shallot
1/3 cup Tawny Port
2/3 cup dry red wine
1 cup beef broth
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
a beurre manié made by kneading together 1 tablespoon softened unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
flat-leafed parsley sprigs for garnish
For the confit:

1/4 cup minced shallot
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 1/2 cups thinly sliced red onion
1/4 cup Tawny Port
1/2 cup dry red wine
1 teaspoon sugar, or to taste
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, or to taste
3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • To prepare the filets:
  • In a heavy skillet heat the oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it brown the filets mignons, patted dry and seasoned with salt and pepper, for 2 minutes on each side. Sauté the fillets mignons, turning them on both sides and the edges, for 4 to 6 minutes more for medium-rare meat, transfer them to a cutting board, and let them stand, covered loosely with foil, while making the sauce.
  • In the fat remaining in the skillet cook the shallot over moderately low heat, stirring, until it is softened, add the Port and the red wine, and boil the mixture until it is reduced by two thirds. Add the broth, boil the mixture until it is reduced by half, and strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a small saucepan. Whisk in the mustard, bring the mixture to a boil, and add the beurre manié, a little at a time, whisking until the sauce is smooth. Simmer the sauce, whisking occasionally, for 2 minutes, whisk in any juices that have accumulated on the cutting board, and season the sauce with salt and pepper.
  • Cut the filets mignons into 1/4-inch-thick slices, divide the slices among 4 plates, and spoon the sauce over them. Garnish the fillets mignons with the parsley and serve them with the red onion confit.
  • To prepare confit:
  • In a heavy skillet cook the garlic and the shallot with the thyme and salt and pepper to taste in the oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until the shallot is softened. Add the red onion and cook the mixture, stirring for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the onion is very soft. Add the Port, the red wine, the sugar, and the vinegar and simmer the mixture, uncovered, for 5 to 10 minutes, or until almost all the liquid is evaporated. Stir in the parsley and salt and pepper to taste and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute. The confit may be made 1 day in advance, kept covered and chilled, and reheated. Makes about 1 cup.

Provided by Tikeyah Whittle

Categories     Lunch

Time 1h14m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

½ stick unsalted butter, divided
½ medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
6 bratwurst sausages
24 oz pilsner-style beer
¼ cup baking soda
16 oz premade pizza dough
2 tablespoons all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
6 tablespoons sauerkraut, plus more for serving
2 large egg yolks, beaten
1 tablespoon flaky sea salt
1 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon McCormick® Garlic Powder
1 pinch McCormick® cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 oz sharp cheddar cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F (220°C).
  • In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until beginning to soften. Add the bratwurst to the pot and pour in the beer. Bring to a boil, then cover and cook for 8-10 minutes, until the bratwurst are white and firm, but not completely cooked through. Transfer the sausages to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside. Reserve ½ cup of the beer and discard the rest.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the baking soda and stir to dissolve.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • While the water is boiling, roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to a 10 x 6-inch (25 x 15 cm) rectangle, about ¼ inch (6 mm) thick. Cut the dough in half horizontally, then cut each half into 3 triangles.
  • Set a dough in front of you with the short end at the bottom and roll out to flatten slightly. Place a sausage at the bottom of the triangle and scoop a heaping tablespoon of sauerkraut above the sausage. Pull the bottom edge of the dough over the sausage and sauerkraut, tucking snugly, then roll up and over the tip of the triangle to seal. Repeat with remaining dough, bratwurst, and sauerkraut.
  • Working in batches of 2-3, carefully drop the wrapped bratwurst into the boiling water for 20-30 seconds. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bratwurst and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Let the dough dry out for about 5 minutes, then brush with the egg yolks and sprinkle generously with flaky sea salt.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the dough is deep golden brown and the bratwurst begins to brown.
  • While the bratwurst are baking, make the cheese sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 2-3 minutes, until golden brown. Whisk in the reserved beer, milk, and cream until smooth. Add the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, cayenne, mustard, and kosher salt. Cook until the sauce is bubbling and thick, whisking occasionally to prevent burning, 2-4 minutes.
  • Whisk in the cheddar cheese and cook for 2-3 minutes, until completely melted and smooth. Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl.
  • Serve the hot bratwurst in a blanket and cheese sauce immediately, along with additional sauerkraut if desired.
  • Enjoy!
