Stuffed Figs Recipe

Stuffed Figs

From joe1155 16 years ago

These go wonderfully with a good cup of coffee. I usually make them a few weeks before Christmas and give them as gifts.

20 dried figs shopping list
20 roasted almonds (usually, unsalted, but salted are nice also) shopping list
20 pieces of dark chocolate that are small enough to fit inside the figs shopping list
40 fennel seeds(you can use more if you like) shopping list
4 large bay leaves (optional) shopping list
1 inch piece of cinnamon bark(optional) shopping list
10 cloves(optional) shopping list

Preheat oven to 350F.
Cut off the hard ends of the figs.
Cut a hole in each fig and insert a piece of chocolate, an almond and 2 fennell seeds. Press together to seal.
Place on a cookie sheet lined with foil or parchment.
Bake until they take on a light coloring, about 10 minutes. (Check after 5 to be on the safe side.)
After they cool, put into a container with the bay leaves, cloves and cinnamon sticks for at least two weeks so that the figs can absorb the aromas or skip this step and just enjoy them as they are.

What an unusual recipe. I love the idea of infusing the figs with wonderful aromatics like this. Love the fennel too. Very nice indeed, can't wait to give it a try.
