  • This was incredibly good. I had found organic black figs, perfectly ripe and managed to score some burrata in place of supermarket mozzarella. Couple of pinches of flakey sea salt, drizzled with lemon-I fused olive oil, used a bit more basil than the recipe called for, omg, to die for.

  • This is a delicious way to eat fresh figs! Quick and easy to fix, and looks great in a serving dish.
