Instructions
Preheat oven to 385F. Prepare baking dish with non-stick
spray. In a medium-size frying pan, fry the onion in 1 tbsp of
olive oil till golden, add the honey and balsamic vinegar and
allow to caramelize, season with 1/4 tsp salt but remove from
heat before the sauce goes completely sticky and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, mix the sweet potato mash, almond flour,
1 tsp salt, crushed garlic, sesame seeds and dried sage. Whisk
the 2 eggs separately till fluffy before adding it to the sweet
potato mixture, stir well. Transfer the sweet potato mix in a
baking dish and create a base – we prefer an uneven texture so
no need to smooth it out completely.
Cut the figs into 1/4 pieces and place in a mixing bowl, add 1
tbsp of olive oil, 1/4 salt and ground black pepper and mix well,
then arrange on top of the sweet potato base and sprinkle the
dried fig pieces over. Finish off by dripping the figs with the
caramelized onion and sprinkle with pine nuts.
Bake for 25-30minutes. Remove from the oven and garnish
with almond flour, sesame seeds and fresh sage leaves before
serving and enjoy.
