Ingredients:
100g pitted figs, chopped
100g seedless raisins
2 dessert apples, peeled and cored
400ml
Almond milk
4 tbsp rice flour
1 tbsp ground galangal, to garnish
Method:
Pound the figs and raisins in a mortar until you have a paste then work in the apple pieces and pound until soft.
Turn into a pan and add the almond milk. Stir together, bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the fruit are soft and breaking down into the almond milk. Cook for about 15 minutes more, or until thick enough that a spoon run through it will leave a trench, then turn into a serving bowl. Sprinkle over the galangal powder and serve.
