Recipe & Food Styling ANNA Magazine, Photography Jerry Grajewski
A simple dessert to pull together when you’re craving a more complicated Baklava.
Ingredients
Sugared walnuts
1 egg white
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups walnut halves, half left whole and half chopped
Figs in orange honey syrup
2 cups dried figs, cut in halves or quartered
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup brown sugar
Zest of 1 orange
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons orange juice
4 cups frozen vanilla yogurt
Preparation
For walnuts, preheat oven to 350˚F. In large bowl, whisk egg white with honey, sugar and cinnamon. Stir in walnuts. Strain through mesh strainer to remove excess egg white. Spread coated walnuts on parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake, turning once, for 8-10 minutes or until walnuts are toasted and golden brown.
For syrup, in medium saucepan, over medium heat, bring figs and water to boil. Simmer 5 minutes until water is reduced by half. Add honey, brown sugar and orange zest, simmer 5 more minutes.
In small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and orange juice. Whisk cornstarch mixture into fig mixture and return to boil for 1 minute or until syrup thickens. Cool slightly before serving.
To serve, spoon frozen yogurt into individual serving bowls. Top with sugared walnuts and warm figs in syrup.
