I was dead set on making this recipe the second I saw the title, but when you started describing the caramelized onions, I nearly got up and went to the grocery store right away!

I’m a self-proclaimed veggie lover too, but I totally agree with your need for something hot in the winter. I’ve been making lots of dals, which seems to satisfy both needs.

It looks and sounds so good! I basically love figs with anything but never tried it with rosemary… Sounds great. Oh, and I definitly need to find this stilton cheese you’re all talking about ;-) Yummm…

This looks a-maz-ing.

I stop and admire figs in the produce section at my local grocery store, but I wouldn’t know what to do with them in my kitchen other than take photos of the gorgeous things! I don’t know why I’m so intimidated… maybe I’ll start with this. Thanks!

We just started the puff pastry unit at school – and will be hand rolling it each class for the next three weeks. Thank you for for providing an excellent use for it all!

My favorite set of ingredients! It’s been rainy and gray here for weeks, and this weekend I am planning to stay in the house bundled up. I think this tart will be the perfect warm and lovely treat! Thanks for sharing!

Ooh, you’re really speaking my language here. For a while I was bringing mini tarts of fig, Stilton and honey to every party I could finagle an invite to. But I love the gorgeous rustic presentation and the idea of curling up with a slice of this after a long day.

Whitney – it’s actually a terrific buy! Plus olive oil from Spain is guaranteed to be from olives vs Italy where you get a lot of substitutions!

Sharmila – so sorry about your figs going bad. Btw, I am totally smitten with your blog – what lovely photography and I might just finally make some Indian food!

Love, love, love this combination! Like very much the addition of rosemary and pine nuts. The figs would caramelize beautifully, the stilton melts….and all this on top of puff pastry? Be still my heart!

I bought some figs on Sunday night at Whole Foods. “This time”, I told myself sternly, “you will resist the urge to scarf ‘em down and actually cook with them.” I skimmed through recipes but didn’t really know what I wanted to do with them until I saw your recipe here. Excited, I rushed home from work today to try it out and..*sniffle* my precious figs!! Ruined!! They were covered in mold! In three days!! It’s not even that warm anymore!! Such a letdown.
The next time them figs are getting put straight into this tart. *wiping eyes resolutely*
