SIMPLE FIG AND WALNUT TART
This impressive tart is great for a holiday crowd. Bake the shell a day ahead, then top and finish in the oven when you're ready to serve. This recipe can easily be doubled-use a large skillet for the onions and allow for more cooking time. Spring for some quality honey (we like acacia), and use a fork to drizzle it on for greater and more even coverage.

Steps:
- Position an oven rack in the bottom position of the oven, put a baking stone or baking sheet on it and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line another baking sheet with parchment.
- Dust a work surface with flour, and roll the puff pastry sheet out into a 10-by-15-inch rectangle. Transfer the pastry to the prepared baking sheet. Measure a half-inch border around it, and lightly score the border with a knife (don't cut all the way through). Prick the pastry inside the border all over with a fork (don't prick the border). Brush the pastry all over with the egg, put the baking sheet with the pastry on it on top of the preheated baking stone, and bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. If you find that the pastry has puffed up in some places, use the bottom of a measuring cup or glass to press it down. Let the pastry cool completely on the baking sheet. (The cooled pastry can be wrapped and stored at room temperature for 1 day.)
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions and a large pinch of salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and deeply golden, about 10 minutes. Add the vinegar, and stir until it has been completely absorbed. Remove the skillet from the heat, and let the caramelized onions cool completely. (They can be refrigerated for 1 day.)
- Scatter the fontina all over the pastry within the border. Top with the caramelized onions, figs and walnuts. Sprinkle the whole tart with the feta, thyme and some salt and pepper. Drizzle all over with oil.
- Return the tart on the baking sheet to the oven, putting it on the preheated baking stone. Bake until the fontina melts, 10 to 15 minutes. Drizzle generously with honey, and let cool for a few minutes. Cut into 16 squares, and serve.

Steps:
- First make the pastry. Tip the flours into a food processor with ½ tsp salt and the diced butter. Pulse until you can't feel any lumps, then tip in the walnuts. Mix the egg yolks with 3 tbsp cold water, then dribble this into the machine while you pulse again until the pastry comes together. Tip the pastry out onto a floured surface, lightly bring it together into a ball, then roll out and line a deep 20-23cm tart tin with overhang. The pastry may crack, but just patch it back together, then cover and chill for 1 hr.
- To make the filling, melt the remaining butter in a large pan, then add the shallots and soften for 10-15 mins, until golden and squishy. Stir in the thyme for 1 min, then remove from the heat. Beat the eggs in a jug with the crème fraîche and cream. Crumble in the cheese and season with pepper and a small amount of salt.
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Blind bake the pastry for 20 mins, remove the baking beans and paper, then bake for a further 15-20 mins until golden and sandy. Reduce the oven temp to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Add the cooled onions to the cream mixture and pour into the case. Sit the fig halves on top, cut side up, sprinkle with some more thyme and bake on the middle shelf for 1 hr-1hr 10 mins until the tart is browning and has a slight wobble - the cheese middle will firm up on sitting. Cool for about 15-20 mins, then remove from tin and serve with a green salad.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas Mark 5. Roll out the pastry thinly and cut out four 15cm circles. Perforate all over with a fork and chill until required. Trim the stems from the figs, then halve vertically. Heat the water, honey, vinegar and thyme in a saucepan, and bring to the boil over a medium heat. Add the figs and reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 25 minutes, stirring often, until the figs are glazed and about 3 tbsp of the liquid remains. Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature. Divide the figs evenly between four 12cm ovenproof blini pans. Place cut side down, drizzling with any remaining liquid, and top with half of the blue cheese. Place a pastry circle on each, tucking in the edges. Place the pans on an oven tray and bake for about 20 minutes, until the pastry is golden and puffed. Remove from the oven and leave for a few minutes, then invert each one onto a flat plate. Top with rocket - if using - the remaining cheese and the walnuts, drizzle with olive oil and season with black pepper.

Steps:
- To make the pastry, blitz the walnuts in a food processor until they resemble breadcrumbs. Add the flour and a large pinch of salt. Pulse briefly to combine, then add the butter and pulse until it resembles large crumbs. Add the egg yolk and pulse until the dough comes together (add 1 tbsp cold water if it seems dry). Squash the dough into a disc, then wrap in baking parchment and chill for at least 30 mins.
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 5. Heat the butter and 1 tbsp oil in a heavy-based frying pan or skillet over a medium heat, and cook the shallots, sage and chard stalks for 5-8 mins until soft and starting to caramelise. Add the chard leaves and continue to cook until wilted, then remove from the heat.
- Put the chilled pastry between two sheets of baking parchment and roll out to the thickness of a £1 coin. Use it to line a 20cm tart tin, then chill for 30 mins until firm. Toss the pear slices in 1-2 tsp oil on a baking sheet.
- Scrunch up a sheet of baking parchment and use it to line the pastry case, then fill with baking beans. Bake for 15 mins, alongside the pears. Remove both from the oven. Remove the parchment and beans from the pastry case, then bake for 8-10 mins more, until the bottom is golden and crisp.
- Lightly beat the eggs in a bowl, then season with some nutmeg and whisk in the crème fraîche. Stir in the cheese. Pour half the mixture into the tart case, then layer in two-thirds of the chard mixture. Arrange the roasted pear slices and remaining chard mix on top, then pour over the remaining custard. Dot over the walnut halves, then bake for 28-30 mins, or until golden and cooked through. Leave to cool for 20 mins, then slice and serve.

FIG TART WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS, ROSEMARY AND STILTON
I used packaged puff pastry here because I thought the dense, almost candied figs would work well with an airy, flaky crust - one that I didn't have to make. The cheese and rosemary helps balance the intensity of the figs, while a drizzling of honey at the end brings out the sweetness of onions and figs.

Steps:
- In a large skillet over low heat, melt butter with oil. Add onions, rosemary and sugar. Cook, tossing occasionally, until onions are limp and golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Stir in the vinegar, scraping any browned bits from bottom of pan.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until smooth. Stir in the onions. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line an 11 by 17-inch baking sheet with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll out pastry to a 9 by 12-inch rectangle. Transfer to baking sheet.
- Use a fork to spread onion mixture evenly over pastry (let excess egg mixture drip back into bowl), leaving a 1-inch border. Arrange figs, cut-side up, in even rows on onion mixture. Scatter cheese and pine nuts over figs. Use a pastry brush to dab edges of tart with egg mixture. Gently fold over edges of tart to form a lip and brush with more egg mixture.
- Bake until pastry is puffed and golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve, sprinkled with rosemary needles and drizzled with honey, if desired, warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Cut a cross in the tops of the figs nearly, but not quite, all the way down to the bottom, and pinch the bases. Sit in a baking dish or roasting tin (big enough so the figs can sit in a single layer with the whole cheese) cut-side up, but don't put the cheese in yet.
- Mix together the vinegar and wine or grape juice with some seasoning, and pour all over the figs. Scatter over the walnuts and thyme. Finally, drizzle over the honey. Bake for 15-20 mins until the figs start to become soft and sticky.
- Tuck the whole cheese in among the figs and put back in the oven for a final 5 mins. Lift the dish straight to the table and serve with lots of crusty bread to scoop up the molten cheese.

- Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 400°F. Have ready a 12-inch oven-safe skillet, preferably cast iron. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry until it's about 1½ inches wider than the skillet. Dock the dough all over with a fork. Using the rolling pin, gently transfer the dough by wrapping it around the pin and unfurling it onto the prepared baking sheet. Chill the dough while you work on the figs.
- Melt the butter in the skillet over medium heat. If using the vanilla bean, rub the seeds into the sugar with your fingertips. Stir in the cinnamon, if using, and the salt. Sprinkle the sugar mixture evenly into the pan and let it melt for 15 to 30 seconds. Stir to help dissolve the sugar, then continue to cook without stirring until the mixture begins to caramelize, about 5 minutes. You can swirl the pan occasionally to keep the heat distributed and the mixture browning evenly, but avoid stirring it.
- When the mixture has caramelized, swirl to evenly coat the whole base of the pan. Turn off the heat and carefully arrange the figs in an even layer. Be sure to pack them in as tightly as possible?they will shrink as they cook and you don't want too many gaps between the fruit after baking.

- On a sheet of baking paper, roll out the puff pastry into a rough circle, if you can, that’s about 11-inches (28-cm) in diameter and 1/8-inch (3-mm) thick. Prick the pastry all over with a fork, then chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- In a shallow 10-inch (25-cm) oven-safe nonstick or cast iron skillet, lay the slices of butter evenly and sprinkle with the sugar. Arrange the figs on top, cut-side down, pressing them down a little so they’re snug in the pan. Tuck the cinnamon stick among the figs and sprinkle the lemon zest over everything.
- Place the skillet in the preheated oven and cook until the sugar has turned a deep caramel color and the juices have just started to ooze from the figs, 5 to 9 minutes. Remove the skillet from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before gently placing the pastry on top of the figs. Tuck the edges of the pastry down between the sides of the skillet and the figs, then brush the top with the beaten egg. Return to the oven and bake until the pastry is crisp and deep golden brown, 15 to 30 minutes.

- Heat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry to 3-5mm thick. Using an upturned plate as a guide, cut the pastry into a 26cm circle, then transfer to a baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper. Prick all over with a fork, then chill for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, put the tatin dish or frying pan over a medium heat and add the sugar, vanilla bean paste, cognac/brandy and cinnamon. Stir until the sugar has dissolved. Keep cooking for a further 5 minutes or until a golden caramel forms (most of the alcohol will cook off but the caramel will keep some of its warmth). Turn off the heat and whisk in the butter – be careful it will spit (see Make Ahead).
- Tightly pack the figs, cut-side down, into the dish/pan on top of the caramel. They will shrink slightly when cooked, so pack them in as tightly as possible.
- Lay the chilled pastry over the top of the fruit, then gently tuck it inside the rim of the pan around the figs.
