Time 45m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups dry red wine
1/4 cup honey
1 cinnamon stick
8 fresh (about 1/2 pound) or 12 dried figs, halved lengthwise
1 cup walnuts, finely chopped
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 (3 1/2-ounce) log goat cheese
Fresh thyme sprigs, to garnish

Steps:

  • Figs: In a nonreactive medium pot combine the wine, honey, and cinnamon. Bring to a simmer, over low heat, and cook until slightly thickened, about 30 minutes. Add the figs and cook for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly. Remove the cinnamon stick.
  • Goat cheese: In a shallow bowl, mix together the walnuts and thyme. With damp hands, roll the goat cheese into 1-inch balls. Roll the balls into the nut mixture until coated.
  • To serve: Spoon the figs into 2 glasses and drizzle with the wine syrup. Add the herbed goat cheese and serve.

I've made this recipe with both fresh and dried figs. Both are delicious, but I prefer the fresh figs.

This is a great way to use up leftover figs. I also like to add a bit of crumbled bacon to the goat cheese.

I'm not a big fan of figs, but I loved this recipe. The red wine sauce really brings out their flavor.

I love the contrast between the sweet figs and the tangy goat cheese. The red wine sauce is also very flavorful.

Followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The figs were beautifully caramelized and the goat cheese was creamy and flavorful. Served it with grilled salmon and it was a perfect meal.

This dish was absolutely divine! The figs were perfectly caramelized and the goat cheese added a wonderful tang. I served it over roasted chicken and it was a hit with my family.
