It’s October and everywhere you look it’s apple and pumpkin everything. But there’s another fruit out there this time of year. It doesn’t get a lot of love, but it’s just as much a part of fall as the other two: the fig. Figs are a huge part of fall and are absolutely delicious. Available… Continue reading Gettin’ Figgy With It

Pan-Seared Pork Chops with Figs
We’re right in the middle of fig season and if there’s one thing I love it’s fresh figs. I’ll eat them straight or roasted or even cooked down into a thick relish. I’ve even made a few desserts with them. But one thing I’ve never done is cooked them with a protein. Well, I changed that a few weeks ago and I’m so happy I did. These pork chops are delicious and perfect for this time of year.

Turns out the guys over at… Continue reading Roasted Grape and Fig Relish
Rosemary Flank Steak with Fig Salsa
One of my favorite things to cook on the grill is steak. I love marinating it for hours in a variety of spices, salts and vinegars. I love listening to it sizzle as I lay it on the hot grates. I love watching it sear and then trying to patiently wait before I cut into… Continue reading Rosemary Flank Steak with Fig Salsa
Honeyed Fig and Goat Cheese Tart
Fig season is here! Actually it’s been here for a couple months already. But I was so focused on peach season, I completely forgot about the figs. Well, I didn’t totally forget about them, I have been eating them raw by the basketful. But unlike the peaches, which I’ve been a fan of since, well,… Continue reading Honeyed Fig and Goat Cheese Tart
