Tips
- If you cannot find myzithra, good-quality fresh ricotta or anthotyro is the best substitute.
- Use figs ripe and soft; soak dried figs in warm water for 10 minutes.
- Serve the cheese at room temperature; cold, it has less flavour.
- Toast the walnuts in a dry pan, which makes them more aromatic.
