The Sainsbury's magazine fruit bowl, (which we delve into for elevenses providing there isn't a better option coming out the test kitchen) is usually filled with your classic apples, pears and bananas and occasionally an exotic nectarine - but this week, we discovered some rogue figs had made their way in, and their unexpected appearance has become quite a talking point. Obviously they're not as beautifully ripe and flavoursome as the fresh figs you might find in hotter climates like Italy, but it got us talking about how we could cook with them at home.
We came across Nigella's figs with honey recipe in the new paperback version of her Italian inspired cookbook, Nigellissima. This dessert couldn't be easier to make and would be perfect to cook and share with friends this weekend.
Nigella says: 'I find 8 figs perfect for 4 people, but if they are small, then up quantities to 12 figs; the sauce quantities should be fine as they are. The idea is not to drown the figs in honey scented cream, but to kiss them with it.'
