Yield Makes 48

Number Of Ingredients 11

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
1 large egg
1 (14- or 17-ounce) box of puff pastry (preferably all-butter puff), thawed according to package directions
All-purpose flour (for surface)
6 1/2 ounces plain goat cheese
Sesame seeds or poppy seeds (for topping; optional)

Steps:

  • Arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 400°F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Stir vinegar, honey, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, and 1 cup water in a medium pot. Add figs and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until figs are softened and liquid has almost evaporated and is a syrupy consistency, 7-10 minutes. 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
  • Figs can be cooked 2 days ahead; cover and chill.

Honey-Roasted Salted Figs image

Dried figs with a salty-sweet coating and clusters of red grapes are a refreshing dessert. Although tiny, each item is abundant in flavor.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for baking sheet
1/4 cup honey
10 ounces dried Turkish figs
10 ounces dried Black Mission figs
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
2 small bunches assorted grapes, such as red and champagne

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Lightly brush a rimmed baking sheet with olive oil. Whisk 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil and 1/4 cup honey in a large bowl. Add 10 ounces each of dried Turkish and Black Mission figs; toss to coat.
  • Arrange figs in a single layer on prepared sheet. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt. Roast until fragrant and caramelized, 12 to 15 minutes. Immediately loosen figs from sheet with a metal spatula. Let figs cool slightly, loosening again after 5 minutes. Transfer to a platter, and serve with assorted grapes.

Tips:

  • To select the ripest figs, look for those with smooth, unblemished skin and a slight give when gently pressed.
  • Before roasting, toss the figs in a mixture of honey, olive oil, and spices to enhance their flavor.
  • Roast the figs until they are caramelized and tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  • To make the puff pastry cups, use a sharp knife to score a 1-inch border around the edges of the pastry sheets.
  • Bake the puff pastry cups until they are golden brown and flaky, about 10-12 minutes.
  • Once the figs and puff pastry cups are prepared, fill the cups with the roasted figs and top with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.
