Grilled Figs Amongst Orangish Cashew Cream

March 3, 2014

We've got a piffling spice grinder attachment for our blender blade, too it's helped me plow out some actually smoothen cashew-based cream sauces inward the terminal year. With figs currently, briefly inward flavour I figured I'd transfer this fox to dessert too tinker amongst the ricotta-stuffed fig recipe I made this fourth dimension terminal year.

It took to a greater extent than soy milk than I expected to cast the cashew cream - I mean value the blender simply needed a larger book of ingredients to accomplish the blades, too thankfully the cream was nevertheless thick plenty to dollop onto the fig halves. It fifty-fifty coloured upward a piffling nether the grill, simply similar the ricotta I'd used previously.

I mean value the star of this recipe is the Cointreau-spiked orangish syrup, too I didn't brand quite plenty this fourth dimension around. I'd recommend doubling the orangish juice for sure; double the Cointreau likewise if y'all dare.

Grilled figs amongst orangish cashew cream
(adapted from this recipe)

1/2 loving cup cashews, soaked overnight
1/3 loving cup soymilk
juice too zest of i orangish (I'd juice 2 oranges adjacent time)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
pinch of tabular array salt
i tablespoon caster sugar
i tablespoon Cointreau
four fresh figs

Cover the cashews inward H2O too soak them overnight. Drain the cashews too blend them amongst the soymilk, orangish zest, vanilla too salt, until they're completely smooth.

In a small-scale saucepan, stir together the orangish juice, carbohydrate too Cointreau over medium heat. Continue to simmer this sauce until it has reduced yesteryear half, approximately 5-10 minutes.

Slice the figs inward one-half too spoon the cashew mixture onto their cutting sides. Arrange the figs cream-side-up inward a heat-proof apartment dish (I role a pie dish) too gently pour over the orangish syrup. Place the dish nether a grill until the figs are warm too the cream is a piffling golden, hence serve 2 or to a greater extent than halves per somebody amongst a spoonful of syrup.
