This is the perfect recipe for figs lovers!
Puglia is a big figs producer. Everywhere in the countryside you can see fig trees full of their delicious fruit!
Of course the best figs are those that you can eat just under the tree.
However, when you have picked and eaten too many figs, it’s also a good idea to start thinking about the winter season when you cannot find them fresh anymore.
You can prepare some delicious dry figs with toasted almonds and bay leaves.
This is the recipe:
INGREDIENTS
fresh figs
almonds
bay leaves
lemon zest
PREPARATION
Cut the figs in half, without breaking them and let them dry in the sun on a wooden board for about 10 days. Turn them upside down very often.
When they are competely dry, place an almond in the middle and sprinkle some grated lemon zest. Close them up and bake in the oven at very low temperature just to dry them up completely.
Place them in a jar with bay leaves.
