Any good fresh fig recipes?

[Mustard]

Lots of them about now, so am looking for some interesting recipes.

I used some in a beef stew last week, from the new Holly Bell (ex Great British Bakeoff) cookbook. Was called Baghdad beef stew. I didn't held out much hope as a very odd combination of ingredients (beef, cinnamon, onion, carrot, raisins, figs and almonds), but it was lovely.

Just wrap parma ham round them and eat with lots of chianti.

Fig tarte tatin is good. Or grill them with blue cheese on top, and eat with brioche. Ravioli stuffed with walnut and fig.

[Robert Poste's Child]

In medieval times the fig symbolised female genitalia - fig leaves in the bible may be a joke it seems, monks being humorists as well as clerks and so on (dark age hipsters). For men's bits it was pears.

In a Carry On kind of spirit, I would therefore suggest serving interleaved slices of fig and pear, perhaps with a reduction of spiced mead drizzled over the top, should you have some about you.

Thanks for the idea, am going to try them grilled with some cheese first.
