Description
Delicious caramelized figs served with honey, crème fraîche, and a tangy lemon sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 fresh figs (any variety)
- ¼ cup honey
- 4 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup fresh lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons crème fraîche
- to taste large-flake sea salt (such as Maldon)
Instructions
- Rinse the figs under cold tap water and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Slice each fig in half, lengthwise, place on a plate and drizzle the cut side with the honey.
- Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet or pan over medium-high and add the butter. When the butter has melted, place the figs, cut side down, in the melted butter.
- Cook the figs for 5 minutes without moving them, then carefully turn them over and cook for another minute. Remove the skillet from the heat, spoon the caramelized figs into glass goblets or dishes.
- Return the skillet to the stove. Heat the butter and juices until bubbly, then pour the lemon juice into the skillet. Bring to a boil while stirring and scraping the pan bottom.
- Lower the heat and simmer the sauce until slightly thickened, continuing to stir and scrape the bottom.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and spoon the sauce over each serving of figs, add a heaping spoon full of crème fraîche and a pinch of flaky sea salt.
