Modern RedactionIngredients:
200g figs Method:Place the figs in a saucepan, cover with wine and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a medium simmer and continue to cook the figs until very soft. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Mash the figs into the liquid until well blended then add the pine nuts, raisins and spices and mix together. Place the mixture in the base of a pre-baked pie shell and add a thin layer of pine nuts on top. Poach the salmon until tender and flaky. Arrange the pieces of cooked salmon and sliced dates on top of the fig mixture. Add the pie lid and brush the top with almond milk. Bake in an oven pre-heated to 190°C until the pastry is a golden brown (about 30–45 minutes). |
