on Jun 10, 2015, Updated Sep 03, 2020 I hate dry figs, but I love fresh ones. So imagine my excitement when I saw a box of fresh figs at the market the other day. To be honest, I can finish an entire box just by myself, but this time I decided to exercise restrain as I wanted to try cooking with them. I used half the batch to make my Spiced Lamb and Figs, and the other half for this roasted fig with cardamom yogurt and honey. It made for an elegant dessert, both in how it looked and tasted, and I must say I am really happy with it!
