Midday Meal :: Ricotta + Pickled Fig

This one is so simple and so mouthwateringly good it’s sinful. Not much (or any) cooking is required here either. You take one slice of crusty baguette, slather some thick sweet ricotta on (we love Salvatore – made here in Brooklyn—definitely the richest we’ve tasted to date) and top it with a pickled fig. A what you ask ? Yup, a pickled fig, sweet and balsamic, with that unique fig texture. We used Boat Street pickled figs here which you can buy locally at Murray’s Cheese or Marlow and Daughters .

  1. hi - i've never had pickled figs before, but this stuff looks - and sounds - amazing!!! tempted to try to make it myself (when fresh figs are around - but wait, are they using fresh or dried figs??), but might want to try the real thing first before making any attempt! lol. beautiful images, as always.
