Brick Oven Figs, Honey and Greek Yogurt
Dec 19, 2011Posted by Forno BravoPrintLike brick ovens, olive oil, grapes and wine, figs have been a part of our culinary history for thousands of years.
This dish uses the top and bottom heat of a brick oven to heat the figs, brown the top of the dish into a nice glaze, and make a nice natural sauce.
Brick Oven Figs, Honey and Greek Yogurt
Ingredients
- 1 lb figs ripe, about 4-6 per person
- 4 tbs honey
- 1 container yogurt Greek
Instructions
- Cut the figs in half and arrange in a terra cotta pan with the cut side up.
- Drizzle the honey over the figs.
Cooking
- Using heat retained in your brick oven, bake the figs uncovered until they are heated through, and the tops are brown and glazed. This only takes a few minutes, so bake the figs right before you serve them. It should only take a few minutes in a moderately hot oven.
- Drizzle the Greek yogurt over the hot figs and put the baking dish directly on the table.
Notes
Variations
You can replace the Greek yogurt with natural yogurt, creme fraiche, or mascarpone.
I’ve never tried it, but a drizzle of liquor might be nice.
