Fig Salad
Quick. Before the figs finish, stock up!
I know, I know, there are more sumptuous and decadent ways to prepare figs, but none are as quick, nor as easy to do as this, using just what is on your fridge. I never have fancy smallgoods just lolling around in my fridge (though, were I a lady of leisure I’d surely be telling a different story), and I don’t have a grill (blasphemous, my real estate agents should be notified, immediately!) so all the quick decadent go-to fig recipes are off limits, impossible.
So, for a savoury fig recipe when I want to eat them immediately this is perfect. Figs quartered with crumbled feta, picked parsley for freshness and a drizzle of good balsamic and extra virgin olive oil.
As you can see, my figs were slightly underripe (and I probably should have peeled them), but the flavour was still there and I never had to even turn the oven on, but the season is just about over, so buy up quick.

Ahh fresh and beautiful! Why don’t you submit it for the NTTC March 2009 Roundup. Today is the last day, details are here http://www.gelskitchen.com/blog/?p=123
Cheers!
Another serving of your simple salad suggestions. Superb
This looks just amazing. What a great way to use fresh figs! And the photos are gorgeous.
This looks and sounds really refreshing. We have a fig tree but this season has been disappointing because they were not sweet at all!
This sounds so quick and so delicious! Beautiful photos too.

Ricki: Thank you! It was so easy, quick and used what I already had on hand – love that
Howard: Oh, shame about your fig harvest are they tasteless or just not sweet? Maybe you should make jam!
