Hey, this was my first attempt at pastry and it turned out really well. I like the crumbly feel and even though I was missing the hazelnuts it tasted lovely! thanks

Delay again in replying… sorry!
@Lili – Yes! A no-recipe, exactly :)
@Lorraine – Crazy isn’t it?
@Ju’eta – Woah girl, slow down on the figs! :)
@Simon – Cheeky! :) I’ve done chocolate dipped cherries, but it’s hardly a recipe…hehe.
@Arwen – Fig barrows, how wonderful! Yes I’d love those in Sydney too.
@Nina – I promise it won’t be the last!
@Peter G – Ah yes, everything is better with a dollop of cream :)
@Gera – One bite? Wow, you must have a sweet tooth :)
@Heather – You’re welcome, it was very tasty.
@Shez – I adore hazelnuts, they added a lovely crunch
@Lisa – Hooray for figs! :)
@Ffichiban – Thanks! I watched it during the last bit of cooking time to make sure it was perfectly golden. There’s such a fine line between golden and burnt!
@Soma – LOL, yummilicious!
@Sophie – Hot custard – yes! Great idea.
@Y – Get your hands on some figs asap, they’re so delicious at the moment.
@Deeba – You’re sweet, thank you.
@Forager – Glad to hear it! I always try and omit or keep the sugar content low in recipes. I’m glad I’ve got an alley in that respect :) Most food bloggers have such sweet tooths!
@Olga – Cheers! :P

Looks delicious! I must confess I’m not a baker and cannot bring myself to pour cups of sugar into my recipes (I seem to be ok with oil/fat/salt tho!). With only 1 teaspoon of sugar in this recipe – I’ll definitely try it!

Can’t ever go wrong with a crostata, I say. Can’t believe how cheap those figs were too! I hope I don’t miss the boat with this year’s fig season!

If this is your first fig recipe, then I think you did a great job!! This is lovely with some hot custard or with some good ice-cream!!! MMMMM….Christie!!

mmm looks gorgeous (and thumbs up on adding hazelnuts into the pastry – they’re such a great nut for baking with & add that much more zing than almonds).

bargain figs too! wahoo for that!

I’m drooling Christie…bloody fantastic! It looks all nice and rustic. I would have dolloped a lot of cream on it!

This is your first fig recipe, but I sincerely hope no the last!!! You did so well!! Lovely tart and I LOVE the rustic look of the tart!

What a fig bargain! You’ve certainly used it well. It would be a perfect recipe in Turkey. There’s always guys with barrows of figs and hazelnuts there. I wish we had fig barrows in Sydney!

What a tart! The pictured baked good looks nice as well :P

With the blog named as it is, I’m surprised that this is the first recipe with figs. Is your next one going to be one with cherries or has that already been done? :)

That looks fabulous! I’ve always wanted to make a free form something…I might just do it this weekend. I love fresh figs too much. I might just eat it before it gts into the pie…..I’ve eaten 12 already this week!
