Isabelle’s Roasted Figs and Apricots (from the blog www.weight-plume.fr)

A simple, vitamin-packed summer recipe for a light, gourmet dessert. With cicadas singing in the background, it’s pure seasonal bliss!

Ingredients (per person):

  • 3 apricots
  • 2 fresh figs
  • Good handful of shelled pistachios
  • Nice handful of slivered almonds
  • Liquid honey
  • Few sprigs of rosemary

Instructions:

Wash the fruit. Halve apricots and remove pits; quarter figs lengthwise.

Arrange cut-side up in a dish. Drizzle with honey; add rosemary sprigs.

Bake at 190°C for 15 minutes until soft and caramelized.

Toast almonds and pistachios in a hot pan, stirring until golden.

Serve warm in bowls, topped with nuts—best enjoyed fresh!

Variation: Swap figs for peaches.
