Caramelized Figs

These figs go great with salad or oatmeal, the choice is yours.

Serves 2 or 3

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

  • 2 T Honey

  • 6 plump figs, cleaned and halved lengthwise

  • 1.5 T unsalted butter

  • 4 sprigs thyme, cleaned

Add figs to a bowl and drizzle the honey all over the figs so they’re evenly coated. Heat a cast iron or other heavy style of pan - one you would normally sear something on to medium heat. Add the butter and melt. Add the thyme and the figs, flesh side down. Leave to caramelize for 3-5 minutes to caramelize. Turn it over onto it’s skin and cook for 1 minute, until softened. Take the figs off the heat and cool. Throw them in a salad with prosciutto and feta or toss them on oatmeal for a nice breakfast.
