Fig Kataiv


The compatibility of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines are none more obvious, nor as delicious, as the fig kataiv ($11) at two-year-old Mideastro Yorkville. Executive chef Benny Cohen sandwiches a fluffy loose layer of spiced mascarpone and aromatic fresh poached figs between crisp and wiry kataifi discs. The clarified butter-brushed phyllo pastry is baked in a cast iron skillet, emerging seven minutes later to a shower of pistachio brittle and fig syrup laced with cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. It’s a modern interpretation of the kanafeh – a traditional Levantine soft syrup-soaked goat cheese dessert – and tastes like an exotic love child between a warm slice of cheesecake and mildly sweet fig newton.
