The March coming together of Cookbook Club was a Lord's Day brunch, alongside the limited role of eating the Super French Toast inwards Ottolenghi's Plenty More. I idea it was the correct occasion to force a secondary fig agenda. Of course of teaching Ottolenghi could assist, alongside a recipe for 'roasted figs alongside pomegranate molasses as well as orangish zest' tucked into the Sweetened department of Plenty More.
Michael helpfully picked upwards the ingredients on Saturday, as well as that had me inwards adept cast to cobble it all together on Lord's Day forenoon inwards less than an hour. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 piffling whisking as well as chopping, xxx minutes' maceration passed alongside simmering as well as to a greater extent than whisking, 10 minutes nether the grill as well as nosotros had a handsome side dish all packed upwards as well as laid upwards to hold out cycled over to our hosts. I was a piffling skeptical that a brief grilling would create the soft, glistening figs pictured inwards the cookbook, but mine were a rattling respectable mimic.
The Super French Toast demonstrates that Ottolenghi is every bit devoted to fats every bit he is to fresh create - he manages to saturate thick brioche slices alongside custard, laid it past times baking, thence nestling it all inwards butter. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience, as well as i that was complemented past times these grilled figs. The sour, slightly bitter flavor of this detail bottle of pomegranate molasses was a welcome time out from layer-upon-layer of dairy fat.
Super French Toast powerfulness ask sour fruits, but sour fruits don't ask Super French Toast - I consider I'll notice other occasions to grill figs similar this again.
Grilled figs inwards pomegranate syrup
(very slightly adapted from a recipe inwards Yotam Ottolenghi's Plenty More)
1/3 loving cup pomegranate molasses
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/3 loving cup brownish sugar
pinch of tabular array salt
1 1/2 tablespoons H2O
12 ripe figs, cutting inwards one-half lengthways

In a medium-large bowl, whisk together the pomegranate molasses, lemon juice, i tertiary of the brownish sugar, the tabular array salt as well as the water. Once the saccharide is dissolved, toss through the figs, thyme as well as orangish rind. Allow the mixture to residue as well as macerate for xxx minutes.
Place the mascarpone as well as yoghurt inwards a pocket-size bowl as well as sift over the icing sugar. Whisk it all together until smooth, as well as thence refrigerate the mixture until serving time.
Pick the figs out of the bowl one-by-one as well as house them cut-side-up inwards a medium-large baking dish (reserve the marinade that remains inwards the bottom of the bowl). Sprinkle the remaining brownish saccharide over the figs as well as thence house them nether a hot grill. Grill them until the saccharide has melted as well as the figs direct maintain softened. This may accept unopen to 10 minutes, but proceed a unopen oculus on them to ensure they don't burn!
Pour the marinade from the bowl of figs into a pocket-size saucepan. Bring it to the boil as well as simmer it until the sauce has reduced past times one-half as well as 'has the consistency of runny honey'. Pick out the whole thyme sprigs.
To serve house the figs on private plates, pour over the pomegranate reduction as well as spoon on the yoghurt cream. Ottolenghi besides garnishes the figs alongside fresh thyme leaves as well as finely grated orangish rind.
