antidiabetic properties<\/a>.<\/p>\nThat is why you should start eating a lot of fresh figs,<\/strong> since they only have 75 calories <\/strong>in 100 grams.<\/strong><\/p>\nHow to buy and keep them?<\/h2>\n
You should get them a day or two before you plan to prepare them. I choose figs with deep and rich color, soft<\/strong>, but not squishy. They should have a strong petal without any changes in texture and color, if possible, and that depends on the transportation. It is important to smell them, and if they have a soft and sweet smell, without any ripe smell which would indicate they have gone off, or that they’ve been kept for a long time, I buy them. I keep them in the fridge, where they would keep their freshness for the next two days (although they never last that long in my fridge). You can keep them in a shallow dish or on a paper napkin, but covered, so that they wouldn’t dry.<\/p>\nAdditional ideas for preparation<\/h2>\n
According to some legends, fresh figs were Cleopatra’s favorite fruit, and allegedly the Greek worshiped them to such an extent that they gave them as an award on the Olympic Games.<\/p>\n
Cleopatra used to eat them alone, and we are going to mix things up a little bit:<\/p>\n
\n- Oatmeal in combination with dried or fresh figs.<\/li>\n
- Poshed figs (for a short time) in red wine, or with Greek yogurt or ice cream, or we can even go that far to put it in addition to a meat dish.<\/li>\n
- Salad: rocket salad, prosciutto (or crispy bacon), balsamic vinegar, parmesan, a real treat for all senses. Be sure to try it out!<\/li>\n
- Sauce prepared of orange juice, some ginger and star-shaped anise<\/li>\n
- Tapenade made of roasted figs, olives, caper, rosemary and balsamic vinegar, which is a great combination with lamb.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Fresh figs with goat cheese<\/h2>\n
The tastiest figs were the one with goat cheese and chocolate sin:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
A spread made of goat cheese can be bought already made in a shop (for example KOZARI <\/strong>manufacturer), or you can simply prepare your own with soft goat cheese (best cheese can be found on market) and simple cheaper cheese spread.<\/p>\nBest option for bread is rye bread, and you can toast it for a more rustic flavor.<\/p>\n
If you are not ‘sinful’, you can chop some almonds instead of chocolate.<\/p>\n
Enjoy while there are still some figs left, and afterwards, we are going to use dried ones.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
