Description
Figs are an amazing fruit, but it can be hard to decide what to use them for. This recipe mixes savory and sweet in a delicious way! Enjoy!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 T olive oil
- 1 red onion, chopped
- 1/2 c balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 t cinnamon
- 1/4 t cayenne pepper
- 1 1/2 t thyme
- 1/4 t salt
- 2 t lemon juice
- 1 lb figs, stemmed and chopped
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in saucepan over medium heat and add red onion. Cook until translucent, about 10 minutes. (Mine browned a tinsy bit and I liked the flavor).
- Add the balsamic vinegar, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, thyme, and salt. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes. The balsamic vinegar should be reducing.
- Add the figs and lemon juice and cook, covered, for another 10 minutes.
- Remove the lid and cook until the chutney has thickened, about 10 minutes. You can turn off the heat once it’s almost the right consistency and then let it sit for another 10 minutes.
Notes
This is perfect on top of paleo bread spread with paleo “cream cheese,” or a good ol’ southern biscuit!
