What is it?
无花果的夏季水果之一,甜美的味道和柔软的质地是两种咸味菜肴(搭配羊肉,培根和奶酪)的欢迎添加剂,以及像蛋s的甜食一样。从植物上讲,无花果根本不是果实,而是倒花的花。
Available from early summer into fall, fresh figs have a voluptuous teardrop shape, velvety, supple skin, and a fleshy inside that’s studded with small, crunchy seeds. Naturally sweet and syrupy, figs are delicious eaten out of hand. They’re also wonderful paired with salty meats, rich cheeses, or tart flavors.
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。
美国有几种无花果品种在美国广泛使用黑色任务figs are very sweet blackish-purple skin and pink flesh.棕色火鸡figs are large, with maroon skin and mild flavor.Calimyrnafigs are large, with golden skin, pinkish-white flesh, and a nutty flavor.Kadotafigs are is less sweet than most other varieties. They have light-green skin and few seeds, and are best eaten out of hand.
How to choose:
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.
How to prep:
无花果的皮肤是可食用的,几乎从未剥落,除了粗糙的斑块或皮肤仍然处于厚厚的一面。只需轻轻冲洗并使用,丢弃茎即可。
The sweet flavor of figs pairs perfectly with rich ingredients like butter, cream, and nuts. It also balances salty flavors, which makes figs a welcome addition to a cheese plate featuring cured meats and aged cheeses. Vinegar, citrus, warm spices, honey, and wine are other flavorings that play well with figs.
Versatile figs make a delicious addition to any meal. Stir chopped figs into yogurt or mix them into cream cheese for slathering on bagels. For a light lunch, quarter and toss them into a salad with arugula, crisp pancetta, and a tart vinaigrette, or add them to a pizza or a panini along with mozzarella and pesto.
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:
在一两天内使用新鲜的成熟无花果。将无花果留在室温下,每个无花果周围的空间都有空气循环,并在一两天内享用它们。无花果将在冰箱中持续更长的时间,但在没有寒冷的情况下味道最佳。
