[Fig Manicotti]
Source: http://www.vegalicious.org
Ingredients
- 100 grams dried figs
- ¼ cup hot water
- manicotti or cannelloni or lazagna sheets
- pinch cinnamon
- 50 grams almonds or hazelnuts, ground
- mint leaves to garnish
Directions
1. Cut the figs in small pieces and pour the hot water over them. |
2. Add the cinnamon and allow this to set for a while so the figs can become a pasty mass. |
3. Alternatively, you can buy the fig paste already made from European or Turkish grocery stores. |
4. The original recipe used lasagna sheets, which is what I did, and what is pictured here. |
5. Cook the lasagna sheet in boiling water. |
6. Remove them and cut it in half if it is a long sheet. |
7. Place a small amount of the fig mass along one edge of the lasagna sheet and roll the sheet to encompass the figs. |
8. Place the manicottis in the refrigerator until serving. |
9. Serve chilled, with a sprinkling of ground nuts on the top and mint leaves at the side. |
