How to prepare dried fig bars with sesame
- Lightly toast the walnuts and sesame seeds in a dry pan. Grind the walnuts and 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds in a coffee grinder until they become powder.
- Blend the figs cut into pieces in a food processor until they become a paste.
- Add the rest of the ingredients, except for 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds. Knead well until homogeneous.
- Sprinkle the remaining sesame seeds in a thin layer on the bottom of small ceramic dishes. Place the fig mixture on top, pressing well with the back of a spoon. Refrigerate for at least a few hours, but ideally overnight.
- To serve, run a knife around the edge of the dishes and flip onto a plate.
