Ingredients
  • 12 prunes pitted
  • 2 ¼ cups apple cider
  • 1/3 cinnamon stick
  • 4 oz Kataifi pastry defrosted
  • 1 ½ oz melted unsalted butter
  • 4 tbsp Sugar
  • 1 container Ricotta cheese (smooth)

Directions
  1. prunes:
  2. Place the prunes, cider and cinnamon into a small sauce pot and bring to a boil.
  3. Lower the heat to a moderate simmer and reduce to approximately 1/3 cup of liquid or until you’ve reached a slightly syrupy consistency.
  4. pastry nests:
  5. Preheat an oven to 325 degrees.
  6. Place the kataifi pastry into a bowl and drizzle with butter while tossing with your hand to blend evenly. Add the sugar and toss again until evenly distributed. in a medium sized muffin tray, place equal amounts of dough into 6 of the wells and distribute the dough along the sides and base to form an empty basket. Continue with the remainder of the dough. Place into the center of the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the baskets are uniformly golden all around. Remove and let cool for 5 minutes before removing the baskets.
  7. quenelles:
  8. Make the quenelles by using 2 tablespoons. Remember to dip the spoons into hot water prior to making each quenelle for best results. Form the quenelles last minute before serving the dessert.
  9. assembly:
  10. Place a basket onto a pasta bowl and place 3 prunes into each basket. Form a quenelle and place one next to each basket. Spoon a bit of the cider reduction in front of the basket and around the quenelle then serve.

This sounds wonderful but I've never seen kataifi in the market....Would I have better luck finding it in a middle eastern market, or greek market? Or could I make it with regular phyllo, just cutting it in small strips?
