Steps:
- Set the oven at 400°F/200°C/Gas 6. Put the figs and raisins into a mixing bowl, pour over the Marsala and leave to stand for forty-five minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Make the pastry:
- Cut the cold butter into small cubes and rub into the flour, either with your fingertips or using a food processor. Work until you have what looks like coarse, fresh breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar.
- Add the egg yolks to the butter and flour. Mix together until you have a soft dough, then turn out on to a floured board and knead briefly, for just a minute. Shape the dough into a smooth, fat cylinder. Wrap it in greaseproof paper or clingfilm and leave to rest in the fridge for thirty minutes.
- Make the caramel:
- Place the Tatin mould or a frying pan over a moderate heat. (If you will be baking the tart in a cake tin, use a frying pan to make the caramel, otherwise you will damage your tin.) Add the Marsala from the dried fruit, leaving the fruit behind in the bowl, then add the sugar. Bring to the boil and leave to form a thin caramel. If you are using a Tatin mould, remove from the heat. If you are using a cake tin, pour the caramel from the frying pan into the tin.
- Assemble the tart:
- Cut the butter into small cubes and scatter it over the caramel. Place the plumped-up figs on the base of the tin in a single layer (neatly or not, as you wish), then scatter over the raisins, pushing them into any gaps.
- Roll out the pastry a little larger than the Tatin mould or cake tin. With the help of the rolling pin-it is very fragile-lift the pastry into the mould or tin, pressing it gently into place over the figs. Tuck in any overhanging pastry.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about thirty minutes, until the pastry is golden. Remove from the oven and leave to settle for ten to fifteen minutes. Place a large serving plate on top of the tart, then, using oven gloves, hold the tin and plate firmly and carefully turn them over, leaving the tart to slide out on to the plate. Serve warm with cream, ice cream or crème fraîche.

ROAST PORK WITH FIGS ONIONS AND MARSALA
A rather sweet pork roast. I like this a lot because not only is it delish, but it freezes quite well sliced in the juices. Another Boil-in-bag thing.

Steps:
- Soak the Figs in the Marsala at least an hour.
- Put the Boiler Onions in warm water 20 min, skin cut off the root and stem,cut a X in the bottom.
- Mix 1 TBS Oil, Salt, Pepper,& Allspice then rub the Pork let it stand half an hour.
- Sear the rubbed pork in the rest of the oil.
- Put everything but the butter in a coverable roasting pan.
- Roast covered at 325F for an hour.
- Uncover, drop the oven to 275F and continue roasting to an internal temp of 145F.
- If you want a higher temp for safety do so but I feel 145F plus the 5+ rise after removal is sufficient.
- Remove the meat to a plate.
- Remove the most solid of the Figs and onions.
- Put the liquid in a pot and degrease, I use paper towels.
- Chech the seasoning.
- Whisk in the butter to the hot liquid, I use my hand blender.
- Slice and enjoy, figs and onions on the side.

- Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy, about 8 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan and add the chicken, skin side down. If you’re using skinless, place the chicken in the pan on the side where the skin used to be. Cook the chicken until it is medium brown, about 10 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and drain off all but a thin layer of the oil.
- Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are brown, about 10 minutes. Add the figs to the skillet and stir constantly until they just start to soften, about 1 minute. Add the marsala and reduced balsamic vinegar and scrape all the delicious brown bits off the bottom of the skillet.
- Pour in the chicken stock and bacon and stir. Place the chicken back in the skillet, skin side up, and let it cook until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens, about 15 minutes.
- Serve with some fresh cracked pepper, a few fresh figs, a little sprinkle of parsley, and a drizzle of reduced balsamic.
