What is it?
One of the more fragile summer fruits, figs sweet flavor and soft texture are a welcome additon to both savory dishes (paired with lamb, bacon, and cheeses), and in sweet treats like tarts. Botanically, the fig is not a fruit at all, but an inverted flower.
从初夏到秋季,新鲜的无花果具有妖druptiul的泪珠形状,天鹅绒般的,柔软的皮肤和肉质的肉质,上面饰有小而松脆的种子。无花果天然甜美而糖浆,无花果吃。它们还与咸肉,浓郁的奶酪或酸味配对。
无花果在地中海气候下生长,在紫菜树的矮胖树枝上,该树是桑树家族的成员。虽然被称为水果,但无花果实际上是一个九叶,一种肉质的结构,里面充满了数百只小花。无花果的真正果实是我们认为它的种子。无花果树最有可能是西亚人,在地中海普遍存在,是最早的驯养植物之一,可追溯到11,000年。
There are several varieties of figs that are widely available in the U.S.黑色任务figs are very sweet blackish-purple skin and pink flesh.Brown Turkey无花果很大,栗色皮肤和温和的风味。Calimyrna无花果很大,有金色的皮肤,粉红色的白色肉和坚果味。卡多塔无花果不如大多数其他品种甜。它们的皮肤浅绿色,种子很少,最好被手中食用。
如何选择:
Look for fruits that are heavy for their size and soft, yielding to gentle pressure. A ripe fig can be plump, but often the best ones are a little shrunken and wrinkled, possibly showing cracks in the skin. Look for a distinct bend at the stem. Avoid fruits that are very firm or overly squishy or that show signs of milky sap at the stem. And look carefully for signs of mold, the biggest enemy of ripe figs.
如何准备:
A fig’s skin is edible and almost never peeled, except for rough patches or when the skin is still on the thick side. Simply rinse gently and use, discarding the stem.
无花果的甜味完美地搭配了黄油,奶油和坚果等丰富成分。它还可以平衡咸味,这使无花果成为奶酪板上的可喜添加,其中包括腌制的肉和陈年的奶酪。醋,柑橘,温暖的香料,蜂蜜和葡萄酒是其他无花果的调味料。
多才多艺的无花果可为任何餐点增添美味。将切碎的无花果切成酸奶或将其混合成奶油奶酪,以在百吉饼上涂抹。享用淡午餐,四分之一,然后将它们与芝麻菜,酥脆的煎饼和酸醋汁一起扔进沙拉中,或将它们与马苏里拉奶酪和香蒜酱一起添加到比萨饼或panini中。
为了获得简单但出色的开胃菜,将无花果包裹在小火腿上,或用山羊或蓝纹奶酪塞入原始,烤,烤或烤制的山羊或蓝纹奶酪。要在主菜中以无花果为特色,请切碎,然后将其搅拌成锅酱中,以制成鸭子或猪排。无花果,也许显然也可以做出美味的甜点。对于一个非常简单的大结局,淋上无花果,上面放着蜂蜜,上面撒上一团马斯卡彭。或在下面的酸酸中使用它们。
如何存储:
Use fresh, ripe figs within a day or two. Leave figs at room temperature with space around each fig for air to circulate and enjoy them within a day or two. Figs will last a little longer in the fridge, but taste best without a chill.
