Trader Joe's has figs and they are sooooo good!
My husband and I recently had breakfast at Mustard's Deli in Irvine. I ordered whole grain bread grilled and topped with goat cheese, sliced fresh black figs and a drizzle of honey, YUM!
Some recipes to try-
Slice them on baby greens with pecans and balsamic vinaigrette.
Wrap figs in a thin piece of prosciutto and broil.
Add figs to cut up cantaloupe and chopped pistachios. Add chopped mint for color.
Stuff a acorn squash or pumpkin with cooked ground sausage, cooked brown rice and chopped fresh figs. Bake at 350 degrees until squash is soft enough to pierce with a fork.
Figs are high in potassium, calcium and fiber. Unfortunately, they are also high in sugar so go easy. A little goes a long way.
A great source of energy before working out.
