Figs, Nuts... it is Fall

wet river trips food
Figs are all around the driveway masking the walkway with a sticky, jammy mess. Oh, how I really like recent figs! One other few doorways down, a neighbor has an impressive pecan tree kicking out recent nuts from a really previous tree. The mix of figs and nuts is an historic one with references in biblical occasions courting again to the Torah and even discovered and talked about within the Promise Land. Ficus is the genus of the fig tree and the widespread fig is grown in principally temperate or desert climates.

I really like figs gently sauteed after which wrapped in prosciutto. It's a deal with to die for while you're lamenting the lack of recent summer time peaches. I added nuts to this most well-known dish for the added crunch and protein. Omit the prosciutto and you've got a wonderful dessert for any vegan.

Proscuitto wrapped Figs w/ Nuts
2 Tblsp of olive oil
California Black Figs
cracked black pepper
nuts (pecans, almonds)
small package deal of proscuitto

Place olive oil in a low medium skillet. Wash and reduce figs into halves. Place reduce aspect down into the skillet. Gently sautee till the perimeters appear to soften (don't overcook; simply heat by way of). Add cracked black pepper. Take out of pan and put aside. Place half a nut and push into the fig half. Wrap a skinny slice of prosciutto across the whole half of fig. Put aside. Then place all wrapped figs again into the skillet to heat the prosciutto (don't brown; simply heat). Take out and serve or let cool and serve at room temperature.

I simply made this final evening. So tasty! For an attention-grabbing video on how W.E.T. River Journeys makes these superior dinners on whitewater trips , take a look at Large Poppa's latest video blog about dinners on rafting and tenting journeys.
