An easy way to serve the best summer figs.
But a fig snob? A fig snob?!?* We're pushing into Alice Waters territory here. The kind of thing I swore I'd never do before I came to California.Yet here I am, slowly becoming a fig snob before my very own eyes and utterly helpless to stop it. It began a couple of years ago, when I had a simple, barely cooked fig tart at Frances, one of my favorite restaurants in San Francisco, over in the Castro. Sweet, jammy, and intensely fragrant, it opened my eyes to what a great fig can be.
Since then, I've been hitting the figs hard during the season, buying them wherever I see them, whether it's at the farmers market , Bi-Rite Grocery , the Mexican produce market down the street ,** and even at Whole Foods . Mission, Sierra, Calimyrna, it doesn't really matter to me. I look for the ripest ones—if they're dripping with honey-like juices and the skins are just starting to split, all the better—and take them home, pints at a time.
