Before figs went out of season I wanted to make the most of them. In Australia I was used to having them in my garden, and here I am restricted to having access to figs only a few weeks a year so when I get my hands on them I go all out.
This pizza is just so wonderful because it is light and with the heat the figs caramalise.
I use 4-5 figs per pizza.
For the chèvre (goat’s cheese) I use a rather young one, because I find that if you used aged chèvre it’s a bit too full-on in that quantity. That said, if you like very rich cheeses, this would be wonderful with the figs.
I dusted on my Corsican herbs. Any Mediterranean herb mix would work for this such as herbes de Provence. Or simply basil, rosemary and parsely.
A small amount of gruyere cheese.
And hop! In the oven.
A couple of spoon’s of mascarpone.
I like to add some fresh basil for colour and an extra fresh taste.
Om nom nom.
In other news, last night J and I did a macaron class here in Paris. It was just great. Photos to come.
Tonight I am meeting Kristin from The Kale Project. We are cooking a recipe together, with kale of course. I am so excited to finally eat some kale in Paris! She is doing such a great thing.
