A simple yet elegant take on dessert, using seasonal fruits and nuts. Ingredients:
2/3 cup dried figs, chopped |
1/4 cup boiling water |
1/4 cup thick, chunky applesauce or apple butter |
1 box manicotti shells, cooked and drained |
1 tsp cinnamon |
2 tbsp ground hazelnuts |
Directions:
1. Cut the figs in small pieces and pour the water over them.
2. Add the applesauce and cinnamon, stir and allow this to set for a while so the figs can become a pasty mass. Stir in the hazelnuts.
3. Cut the manicotti shells in half cross-wise.
4. Place a small amount of the fig mass inside each tube half.
5. Place the manicottis in the refrigerator until serving.
6. Serve chilled, with a sprinkling of ground nuts on the top.
