An ode to my Babba. I will never forget the stories that my father told me growing up that were centered around food. Although there was very limited cuisine in his village, it also happened to be the healthiest: cornbread, wild mountain greens, mountain teas, olives and olive oil, cheese, beans, honey, plums, walnuts, and his favorite fresh figs you could pick off the tree. He would love this Fancy Version of the Peasant figs he remembers so well.
Sticky, salty, sweet figs - serve over our Greek lemon honey yogurt, or on their own as the most delicious bite.
