2 cups Ruby Port
¼ cup granulated sugar

1 sprig fresh mint
10 fresh figs
4 ounces fresh goat cheese
1 cup mixed roasted nuts (cashews, pistachios, pecans, etc.)

Steps:

In saucepan heated to medium, combine port, sugar, cracked pepper and mint, and simmer until consistency of syrup, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
Preheat oven to 415 degrees F. Cut figs in half, from top to bottom. Line a baking sheet with a large sheet of Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil.

Toss the nuts in a bowl with butter, salt, pepper and chili powder. Spread in single layer on the other side of the foil-lined pan. Roast 10 minutes. Keep an eye on the nuts so they don't burn.

Yield Makes about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 cup ruby port
1 cup black Mission figs, finely chopped
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups finely chopped Vidalia or other sweet onions
1/3 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted (optional)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

In small saucepan, combine port and figs. Set over high heat and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until figs are softened and port is slightly reduced, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in large heavy-bottomed skillet over moderately high heat, heat oil. Add onions and cook, stirring often, until lightly caramelized, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
In large bowl, combine fig/port mixture, onions, pine nuts, and pepper. Serve at room temperature.

Tips:

Choose ripe, fresh figs. Look for figs that are plump and have a deep, rich color. Avoid figs that are bruised or have soft spots.
Roast the figs at a high temperature. This will help to caramelize the sugars in the figs and give them a delicious, roasted flavor. For best results, roast the figs at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes.
Use a variety of nuts. This will add flavor and texture to the dish. Some good options include walnuts, pecans, almonds, and pistachios.
Make sure the port reduction is thick and syrupy. This will help to coat the figs and nuts and give them a delicious glaze. To thicken the port reduction, simmer it over low heat until it has reduced by about half.
Serve the roasted figs and nuts with port reduction warm or at room temperature. They can be enjoyed as an appetizer, a side dish, or a dessert.

Conclusion:

Roasted figs and nuts with port reduction is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you serve it as an appetizer, a side dish, or a dessert, your guests are sure to love it.
