Black Mission Figs are grown without certain pesticides. When Black Mission Figs are blended with savoury ingredients, such as salt, cocoa and spices, figs can produce a “meaty” flavour that has a smoky, almost steak-like aroma and taste. Chop fresh figs and thyme, then fold into olive oil-based cake batter and bake. Saute roasted beets and quartered figs in honey and balsamic vinegar, then toss with arugula and serve as a salad. Great add to tarts!
