Flaming Figs with Pistachios

Servings: 1
Ingredients
  • 300 g figs (preferably in season)
  • 1 piece Juice of orange
  • 30 g unsalted butter
  • 20 g brown sugar
  • 30 ml Tequila Hacienda de Tepa Cristalino
  • 30 g pistachios, shelled and chopped
Instructions
  1. 1
    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the orange juice, butter, and brown sugar. Cook until the sugar melts and begins to caramelize, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  2. 2
    Add the figs and toss to coat them in the orange-sugar syrup.
    Use ripe, fresh figs for the best flavor. If the figs are not quite ripe, you may need to cook them for a few minutes longer in the orange-sugar syrup before adding the tequila.
  3. 3
    Carefully pour the tequila into the corner of the pan and tilt it towards the flame to ignite the alcohol. Flame the figs for a few seconds, swirling the pan to distribute the flames evenly.
    Be careful when flaming the figs. The alcohol can burn quickly, so make sure you have a fire extinguisher or other means to put out the flames if necessary.
  4. 4
    Continue cooking for a minute or two more, until the flames have subsided.
  5. 5
    Serve warm immediately, optionally over vanilla ice cream.
    This dish is also delicious served with a dollop of crème fraîche or whipped cream
