Fresh figs, what can you do with them?

[cathcat]

I bought 4 on monday, they are sitting in my kitchen, neglected. No idea what to do with them. Any ideas?

[MadamAnt]

Get some goat's cheese and drizzle the lot with honey. Yum.

[MadamAnt]

OK, Lapin's sounds better

[choufleur]

or just eat them on their own

[artichokes]

Eat them for breakfast with honey and plain greek yoghurt.

does anyone actually eat the skin? i never do but i know that you could if you wanted to.

[MadamAnt]

I always eat the skin - never occurred to me not to.

Artichokes - I love your fresh tuna pasta recipe btw. Yum.

[moondog]

Just eat them fresh,skin and all. No recipe will taste better than that.

[WilfSell]

Or just munch em down with whipped cream

I love them now but when I was a kid I used to think it was like eating crunchy fleas in a bag. Hope I haven't put you off?

[WilfSell]

Equally, I used to think of lychees as eyeballs, anchovies as salty slugs and grapes as solidified snot.

Pleasant but somewhat exotic childhood I had...

[BroccoliSpears]

Eat them. YUM!

[blowsy]

Cut into quarters with serano ham, goats cheese and balsamic syrup on some rocket - gorgeous.

Or if you're my ds2, just as they come - he is an addict!

[cathcat]

Thanks all.
I will try not to think of crunchy fleas as I eat them

[artichokes]

Oooh MadamAnt - I am so excited someone noticed and then tried the fresh tuna pasta recipe. Its gorgeous isn't it.

[MadamAnt]

DH says it's his new favourite meal

[Overmydeadbody]

Just eating them is best.

Am that some people don't eat the skin, what a waste!

[JRocks]

I love this salad with figs
