Fig and Fennel Roll

Use soft, dried figs for this, not the hard ones. I used fig syrup to bind it together a bit, but date syrup or honey would work just as well.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 200 gms soft dried figs
  • 1 cup walnuts pecans or almonds would probably work just as well
  • 2 1/2 tsp fennel seeds
  • 1-2 tbsp fig syrup or date syrup, or honey
  • pinch of salt

Method
 

  1. Cut the figs into quarters and place with all the other ingredients, except the fig syrup, into a processor. Whizz until very finely mulched up.
  2. Check consistency and add enough syrup to bind the mixture together.
  3. Remove from bowl, place on grease-proof paper and roll into a firm log, twisting the ends of the paper together tightly.
  4. Alternatively, roll it into balls and then roll them in crushed nuts.
  5. Refrigerate over night to allow it to firm up completely.
  6. Serve on a cheese platter.
