You’ve probably never made figs like this before… 🤯
Smashed flat into a *carpaccio*, topped with creamy burrata, crunchy pistachios, and finished with a **South African–inspired citrus spice vinaigrette** 🇿🇦

Right now in Europe, figs are in season — perfect timing for this dish.

In South Africa, fig season runs from November to May… so wherever you are, **save this recipe** and catch them while they’re fresh. 🌱

Recipe

For the carpaccio:

* 6–8 ripe figs
* Fresh rocket (arugula)
* 1 ball creamy burrata
* A handful of roasted, salted pistachios

For the citrus spice vinaigrette:

* ¼ cup + 2 tbsp olive oil
* 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
* 2 tbsp orange juice
* 1 tbsp maple syrup (or honey)
* ½ tsp freshly grated ginger
* ½ tsp ground cinnamon
* ½ tsp ground cumin
* ½ tsp ground coriander
* ¼ tsp sea salt
* Pinch of chilli flakes

Instructions:

1. Peel figs (either with a small knife or by hand, depending on ripeness).
2. Cut in half, then gently smash flat with the base of a glass to create delicate carpaccio slices.
3. Arrange on a plate with rocket, burrata, and pistachios.
4. Combine vinaigrette ingredients in a jar, shake well until smooth and golden.
5. Drizzle over the carpaccio and serve immediately.

Sweet, spicy, creamy, and fresh — the perfect late-summer dish. ✨
