Creative ways of eating figs

[FIGSinGA]

What is your favorite way to eat figs? Any interesting pairings?

This was dinner last night:

[Bravo_Figaro]

With French Vanilla Ice Cream

Other than fresh and frozen I don't have a favorite. I have smeared the insides of figs onto buttered English muffins and that was pretty darn delicious. I don't like my English muffins overly sweet so I don't typically put jam or marmalade on them but the figs work nicely.

For pizza i highly recommend Figs with Prosciutto, goat cheese, and some nice balsamic or honey drizzled on top. Its like a Dessert pizza and so good!

im looking for new ideas too so def interested in thoughts! Theres recipes for inspiration in the Sticky area too

[goodfriendmike]

Add Artichoke hearts and roasted garlic. hold the honey. Balsamic reduction light drizzle.

[jessup42]

Thinking garlic would clash but artichoke hearts will do nicely

Garlic oil is most important ingredient otherwise, along w pecorino & a parm/asiago shower. Chz mix blend is So important for depth

That pic of the pizza looks so funny., kinda like it was done by the world's laziest sous chef.

BUT - it's like figs instead of pineapple! And I do love pineapple on my pizza.

-Sorry FIGSinGA but I'm gonna have to steal this idea.

Great concept! My kind of cooking!

Regards - the world's laziest sous chef.

Waited 2 yrs for this with my family last weekend. As jessup42 stated - with some twist - both had RdB, goat and mozzarella cheese, baby arugula, prosciutto, caramelized onion but one w tomato sauce and the other w fig jam spread. Oh yes, both drizzled w fig balsamic vinegar... family approved 🥰

Looks divine!

[claret]

Looks scrumptious! What's fig balsamic vinegar? I mean, do you mix it yourself and let it marinate for months, or what?

My wife made this years ago. Fig upside down cake. Figs used were Genoese Nero AF, I258, Barnisotte, & Preto.

[jessup42]

I picked up your Vibo Valentia & greatly looking forward to it. Sexy little tree you found!!

[kubota1]

Thanks! I have a few more that haven’t been circulated.

I like to cut them in half and add just a drop or two of balsamic vinegar from Modena (the thick, expensive good stuff). Pairs so well together.

[FIGSinGA]

I love the simplicity of this!

I make almost an identical flat bread to Kimsc321 . But i brought a fig salad with fig balsamic salad dressing to Ed's a few years ago in western PA.

Long peppers (poblano?) out of the garden, stuffed with gorgonzola, little chunks of bacon, and chunks of fresh very ripe King figs, and warmed thoroughly n the oven!

Saw this on IG yesterday. …. Looks so good

Aperitivo!
fichi ripieni con salsiccia piccante e al forno con rosmarino e gorgonzola.
Questo piatto è stato ispirato da mia nonna!

[FIGSinGA]

Grazie mille, paesano. È una combinazione fantastica.

[Forbiddenfruit.garden]

prego! vale sicuramente la pena cucinare.

Fig pavlova cake is da bomb!
I made a fig pizza in my woodfired oven that came out real good recently- capicola, figs and ricotta finished with a squirt of maple syrup.

Tried something new for lunch. Simple but great contrast in flavors and temperature.

Toasted provolone with tomato and fig applied after toasting.
