Fig Appetizer

Music Player Instruction:   play and get inspired 

I love the sweet and soft taste of figs.  As it is a seasonal fruit I decided that I’d like to have figs during the cold months.  Fresh figs were not to be found so a good alternative was to use the packet of dry figs I bought in the local deli.
With the figs in my hands I came up with an appetizer that can be used as a dip or
as a filler. So here it is

WHAT TO USE

• 1 cup of dry figs
• ¾ cup of pitted Kalamata black olives
• 3-4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
• ½ teaspoon of lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons of diced dill pickles
• 1 tablespoon roasted pine nuts to sprinkle

HOW TO DO IT

• prepare – cut stems off and dice – figs/ olives/ dill pickles
• place in a bowl – figs/ olives/ olive oil/ balsamic vinegar/ lemon juice/ pickles
• mix until chunky – use more oil if needed/ food processor can be used
• place on a serving platter
• sprinkle roasted pine nuts
• serve with sourdough pita chips/ crackers/ a hummus side dish
• enjoy
