  1. GOLDEN ALMONDS

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the chopped almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  2. THYME TO FRY

    Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the sliced onion and the rinsed thyme sprigs until caramelised, 8-10 minutes (shifting occasionally). At the halfway mark, add a sweetener. Remove from the pan, discarding the thyme sprigs, season, and cover.

  3. PERFECT PURÉE

    To a blender, add the yoghurt, ½ the caramelised onion, ⅔ of the chopped artichokes, the lemon juice (to taste), 1 tbsp of water, and seasoning. Blend until smooth. Set aside.

  4. INTO THE OVEN

    Cut the pita in half to create two circular bases and place on a greased oven tray. Spread the artichoke sauce over the pita bases. Top with the fig slices, the remaining artichokes, and the remaining caramelised onion. Drizzle with olive oil and ½ the sweet balsamic. Season and bake in the hot oven until golden and sticky, 8-10 minutes.

  5. FINAL TOUCHES

    Top the fig & artichoke pitas with the rinsed green leaves, the drained feta, and the toasted almonds. Drizzle with the remaining sweet balsamic. Perfection, Chef!
