Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup pine nuts
3/4 cup Sambuca
2 tablespoons sugar
12 firm-ripe fresh purple figs
3/4 cup whole-milk ricotta (preferably fresh)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a small skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then cook pine nuts, stirring, until golden, about 2 minutes. Transfer to paper towels and season with salt.
  • Simmer Sambuca with sugar in a saucepan (pan should be just large enough to hold figs upright), stirring until sugar is dissolved. Cut a very thin slice from bottom of each fig and stand figs in liquid in saucepan (figs will not be covered by liquid).
  • Poach figs at a bare simmer, covered, 5 minutes. Cool slightly in liquid.
  • Season ricotta with salt and pepper. Divide figs among 4 plates alongside mounds of ricotta and drizzle figs with some of poaching liquid, then sprinkle with pine nuts and serve.

The figs were a little too soft for my liking, but the ricotta and pine nuts were delicious. I would try this recipe again with firmer figs.

The figs were a bit too sweet for my taste, but the ricotta and pine nuts helped to balance out the flavors. Overall, it was a good recipe and I would make it again with a few adjustments.
