Fig and Walnut Pizza
Fig is sweet where walnut is earthy, and a shared rich streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction. The affinity runs both ways, which is why this combination keeps showing up on serious pizza menus.
Sweet, jammy figs add a luscious, honey-like sweetness that pairs beautifully with salty cheeses. Toasted walnuts add a satisfying crunch and earthy, slightly bitter nuttiness. On a Brown Butter-Sage Sauce base, the sauce's nutty and toasty character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.
