Luscious Fig & Macadamia Crumble
An Original Recipe by Lorraine Elliott
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
- 600g/21ozs. fresh figs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 100g/3.5ozs. brown sugar
- 90g/3ozs. butter, cubed
- 60g/2ozs. rye flour
- 60g/2ozs. plain all purpose flour
- 50g/1,7ozs. macadamias, roughly chopped
- 25g/1oz. desiccated coconut
Step 1 - Preheat oven to 185C/365F. Butter the base of a pie dish. Wash and halve the figs (quarter if they are very large). Place them on the base of the dish-these figs were very sweet and jammy so I didn't add any sweetening to them but if they aren't, you can drizzle over some maple syrup or add a few tablespoons of sugar. Place the sugar, butter and two flours into a bowl and crumble with your fingers until it resembles sand. Mix in the macadamias and coconut.
Step 2 - Sprinkle evenly over the figs and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden. Serve warm with cream or ice cream. This is best eaten on the day that you bake it because the macadamias will be crunchy when baked.
