Figalicious

While grocery shopping last week, I spied an unusual fruit. A fig. I thought about it and realized I had never made anything with fresh figs before. I decided to purchase the pack and, yesterday, made my first fig dish.




Ingredients:
6 fresh figs
Honey
Greek yogurt
Pecans or other nut
Brown sugar
Salt
Butter

The recipe was very easy. Turn the oven to 350F. Next, make a tinfoil pouch for the figs. Then, cut off the stems and cut a cross deep into the figs. Put the figs upright in the tinfoil pouch. Pour honey across the tops. Put pouch, tightly sealed into oven for 45 minutes.

While that is cooking, I caramelized the pecans by heating them on a skillet for 2-3 minutes, then added the butter (just enough to coat the nuts), some brown sugar, and salt. I let them cool as the figs finished baking (and, of course, sampled the product).

When the figs came out of the oven, I topped them with Fage Greek 2% Yogurt and the caramelized pecans. This makes approximately 2 servings.

Enjoy some figs!
