Serves 4

Ingredients

Fresh figs
12, ripe
Honey
1/4 cup, preferably local or organic
Greek yogurt
1 cup, plain
Chopped walnuts
1/2 cup, toasted
Fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Begin by washing the fresh figs gently under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
  2. Cut off the stems of each fig and slice them in half lengthwise, exposing the sweet flesh.
  3. On a serving plate, arrange the fig halves with the cut side facing up.
  4. Generously drizzle honey over the cut sides of each fig half, allowing it to seep into the flesh.
  5. Spoon a dollop of Greek yogurt onto each fig half, creating a creamy layer atop the figs.
  6. Evenly sprinkle the toasted chopped walnuts over the yogurt, adding a satisfying crunch.
  7. For a fresh finish, garnish the dish with vibrant mint leaves, which will add a pop of color and a refreshing aroma.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy this exquisite treat that combines flavors of the Mediterranean.

Tips

  • 💡 For added flavor, consider using flavored Greek yogurt, such as honey or vanilla.
  • 💡 To toast walnuts, place them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently.
  • 💡 Experiment with other nuts or seeds, such as pistachios or sunflower seeds, for a different texture.
