HONEY FIGS WITH GOAT CHEESE AND PECANS
Honey is a fine example of the French concept of terroir-quite literally, a little bit of the earth of the surrounding area is imparted to every jar of honey. Dede loved honey and enjoyed it on his toast or biscuits. When I grew older and started to travel, I would always bring home a jar of the local honey as a gift for him. Although he has long since passed away, I have continued the tradition and always bring home a jar of local honey as a memento when I travel. The shelf in my cupboard resembles an amber rainbow. I once had a bit of pecan-crusted goat cheese left over from another recipe and served it the next day, nestled in a quartered fresh fig and drizzled with honey-that's how this recipe was born.

Steps:
- To prepare the goat cheese, place the chopped pecans in a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper. Roll the goat cheese log in the pecans to coat evenly. Refrigerate until firm, if necessary, then cut into 4 to 6 uniform rounds.
- To prepare the figs, using a small paring knife and starting at the stem end, quarter the figs, but don't quite cut all the way though the bottom. Open them slightly to form a flower.
- To serve, divide the figs evenly among 4 or 6 shallow bowls. Top each fig with a round of pecan-crusted goat cheese. Drizzle the honey over the figs and cheese. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
- When measuring out sticky ingredients such as honey, first spray a little nonstick spray into the measuring utensil, then fill with the ingredient. The sticky substance will slide right out.
Tips:
- To ensure the best flavor, select ripe and fresh figs that are slightly soft to the touch.
- Use a variety of fresh herbs to enhance the flavor of the dish. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, and basil.
- If you don't have goat cheese on hand, you can substitute another type of soft cheese, such as feta or cream cheese.
- For a sweeter dish, drizzle the figs with honey before roasting.
- Garnish the dish with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for added flavor and visual appeal.
Conclusion:
Honey Figs with Goat Cheese and Pecans is a simple yet elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet and savory flavors, along with the creamy texture of the goat cheese and the crunchiness of the pecans, creates a delightful and unforgettable dish. Serve it as an appetizer or a side dish, or even as a main course with a side salad. No matter how you choose to enjoy it, this dish is sure to impress your taste buds.
