LET’S GET PREPPY
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place a large roasting tray in the oven to heat up. Place the pine nuts in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, shifting occasionally. Keep a close eye on them; they can burn easily! Remove from the pan on completion.
HAPPY Onion TEARS
Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. When hot, fry the sliced Onion for 7-9 minutes until soft, browned and caramelised, shifting occasionally. At the halfway mark, add a sweetener of choice (to taste) to caramelise it further. Remove from the pan on completion.
MISS FOCACCIA
Turn the oven to the grill setting or the highest temperature. Slide the focaccia base onto the heated tray and par bake for 3-5 minutes until lightly golden. Carefully remove the base from the oven, leaving the tray inside to keep hot.
ASSEMBLE THE GOODS
Time to assemble! Flip the base onto the other side and rub with the smashed Garlic clove (discarding the garlic when complete). Spread a layer of cranberry sauce over the garlicky base, crumble over the Gorgonzola, and top with the caramelised onions and fig quarters. Slide the focaccia back onto the hot tray and bake for 6-8 minutes until the gorgonzola is slightly melted and the base is crispy and golden.
