ABOUT Figs with Cardamom-Honey Cream and Pistachios RECIPE

This recipe is from "Nigellisima " . It is an excellent (and unique) option for a light dessert. It involves minimum fuss and Nigella lets the few ingredients star in the dish. Just like how food should be, simple yet sophisticated.

Ingredients Serving: 4

8 figs
2 tablespoons ghee or clarified butter
1/4 cup or 60 ml malai
2 tablespoons honey
1/8 tsp Cardamom powder
2 tablespoons chopped pistachios

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 220 C.
Destem the fig and cut each fig with a cross in the centre (as if to quarter it) but don't go all the way till the bottom. You want it to open up like a flower.
Place the figs on a baking sheet and drizzle the ghee on top. Bake for 10 minutes or until softened. Cool for a few minutes.
As the figs cool, make the creamy sauce by heating the malai, honey and cardamom together in a small saucepan while stirring. Let it come to a boil and then simmer for a couple of minutes until it thickens.
Drizzle the malai on top. Don't drench the figs in it.
Sprinkle chopped pistachios on top.
