A fig’n juicy snack!

Posted on October 16, 2011 by Drina C

Its been everywhere, and I’m not sure when the fig season is but I cant go past a crate of the juicy purplish little drop-shaped fruits without picking a few. There have been times when I have been tempted to pop one of those little things right into my mouth, but my mommy taught me better; so no fruit goes into my mouth without being washed.

It was a weekend morning and I was looking forward to having something rather healthy and man was I dreaming of those figs I picked up yesterday. So first thing after I woke up, I ran to the fridge and grabbed them all out (with a “my precious” grin on my face) and made my dream come true

So here’s a super simple and healthy snack… Figs and Prosciutto with spiced yoghurt.

     Most figs I find here in Dubai lack flavor, sometimes I get lucky in picking sweet ones. These guys up here were sweet and I guess it was intuition
     But mostly when you pick figs they should be a deep, deep purple, not too tough, slightly soft and tender; if it is tough then its not ready yet. Also dont pick the ones that are mushy and bruised.
     I hope that helps
