I came across this wonderful recipe from English cook book just purchased by my cousin who is exploring her Vegetarian choices...
Enjoy

Feel free to add your own recipes. we can turn this to a Cook Book of Figs :)



 

I am going to make fig pie this year. Along with my fig wine----- we need,a cookbook just for figs

In Bologna, Italy, Trattoria Battibecco serves this fig sorbet that comprises only figs, sugar, water, and maybe lemon.

I don't have their recipe, but if I had to guess...

750 grams fresh figs, stemmed
100 grams sugar
60 ml water
20 ml lemon juice

Basically, combine the sugar and the water in a large pot, followed by the figs and set over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves. Allow the mixture to cool. Place the mixture in a blender with the lemon juice and pulverize. Sieve it to remove any huge pieces of skin and seed and then churn according to the directions for whatever machinery you're using. 

From Battibecco:

 



When I went, they used this smyrna type that's all over Bologna. Everyone referred to them as "the green kind" and they're huge, plump, and bright green with a pinkish-amber interior. They taste earthy, grassy, and only barely sweet. I have no idea what their varietal name is but it's the one pictured on the bottom right.

 

This weekend I'm making chocolate-covered figs (with a sprinkle of sea salt).

Arne,
we want to see pictures ;)

I need some fresh fig. They both sound really good the ice cream sound and the,chocolate fig with sea,salt. Awsome for snacking watching the evening news.

Richie,
