FRESH FIGS W/ RAW HONEY

January 01, 2018 in Family Secrets, Snacks + Sides, Fire Island

Do you ever have hungry people in your house and you literally are getting ready to cook dinner? How annoying are they? Hovering like vultures in the kitchen…waiting to attack any ingredient I take out. Ideally I would beat them with a wooden spoon, but apparently thats not appropriate (unless you were an Italian mother prior to Child Protective Services being launched).

So I open the fridge….my second fridge, because the average number of fridges in my family is (3) per household, technically I need to buy another fridge, right mom?

There is a box of figs. Perfect.

Slice em and drizzle honey….done. The vultures are ready, I place the plate on the floor. They need to work for this snack.

Ingredients:

  • 6 fresh digs, cut in half

  • Honey

  • Salt

Directions

Slice Figs in half, place on plate, drizzle with honey, pinch of salt. Done.

Just a boy who likes boys, cooking his little heart out. Using what my mamma gave me and drawing inspiration from growing up Italian + living all over the world.

The secret to my grilled cheese is mayo on the outside instead of softened butter. It speeds up the process and gives the bread a nice crispiness.
