Had no figs, so I used a few teaspoons of fig jam. Also thinned with a tablespoon of water at the end. Used in a salad of arugula, crumbled chèvre, crispy prosciutto, toasted pine nuts, cooked beets and grilled chicken, finished with fleur de sel.
Fabulous, soft and sweet. Don't forget to PEEL the figs like I did--ended up running it all through my mini food processor. Tasted wonderful, but it was a bit thick.....
This is delicious. The only note I would add is please give better measurements as to shallots and figs. Shallots come in many sizes and giving a weight or TBS measurement would be most useful.
This is delicious!
Used this over a strawberry, arugula and feta salad - delicious!
Had no figs so I subbed a good tablespoon of fig preserves. Dressed a salad of arugula, goat cheese, crispy prosciutto, toasted walnuts. Wow!
