I don’t know if any of you have heard of this dish, fig toast. This is a rapid preparation dish, quick to cook, but delicious to eat!
Before coming to France, I only knew Vietnamese figs. When I was a kid, I tried it once. The green fruit is astringent, but the ripe fruit is very sweet. Time had passed until I moved to France. It was fig season. I was surprised because the figs here were much bigger than the ones in Vietnam.
There are different types of fig here some have purple skin and red flesh inside; some have green skin and red flesh inside and some have green skin and white flesh inside. All of them taste very sweet and have fragrant aroma. Since then, I have always been addicted to figs.
Every year, I buy some kilograms to make jam to eat with bread and toast with meat. This year, I bought some organic figs from a lovely woman, who gave me this best fig toast recipe.
