Editors Review
Explore some savory applications of fresh figs rather than just going dessert-crazy. This Moroccan chicken, braised it in a flavorful broth of wine, herbs, and figs. The result is absolutely delicious–the chicken is incredibly tender and the sauce was sweet, herby, with a surprisingly well-rounded, balanced, full flavor that become one in a way that complimented the chicken perfectly. Once you try this recipe you will be wishing you could have fresh figs year-round.Chef
