Ingredients

• 1 ½ tablespoons melted butter

• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 sprig fresh mint
• cracked black pepper to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

In saucepan heated to medium, combine port, sugar, cracked pepper and mint, and simmer until consistency of syrup, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 415 degrees F. Cut figs in half, from top to bottom. Line a baking sheet with a large sheet of Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil. Fold up the sheet in the center to create a barrier, splitting the sheet into two sides. On one half, place figs cut side up, and top each with about 1/2 teaspoon of goat cheese.

Step 3

Toss the nuts in a bowl with butter, salt, pepper and chili powder. Spread in single layer on the other side of the foil-lined pan. Roast 10 minutes. Keep an eye on the nuts so they don't burn.

Step 4

To serve, chop the nuts and sprinkle bits on the figs. Drizzle figs and nuts with port reduction.
