I did not want to have figs as usual I enjoyed to have, namely with some prosciutto di Parma but I wanted to try something I tasted in a restaurant in Milan: figs and anchovies.
4,5
fresh figs
200
gr anchovies
4
potatoes
150
gr buffalo mozzarella
Lemon
zest
Ginger
Brown
sugar
Steamed
the potatoes with the rind, once cooled them peeled them and cut into pieces
and put over medium heat with some hot water (I did not use any dairy products
such as butter or milk). Mash the potatoes with a fork and let cook till you get a homogenous cream. Add some nutmeg.
In
a very hot pan put the clean figs cut into pieces, add a spoon of brown sugar
and cook till the figs are browned.
Clean
the anchovies and put a slice of mozzarella (leave the mozzarella one hour on a napkin to dry the milk) between 2 anchovies. Sprinkle with
some evo oil, ginger and lemon zest. Cook into the oven at 180°C for 12/15 min.
Plate
some potato cream with the anchovies and the caramelized figs.
