Description
This pesto is a wonderful addition to poultry or beef dishes, as well as cheese and simply as a spread on bread. Due to its sweetness and moderate spiciness, its flavor may seem a bit unusual, as it is not a classic pesto. This method of preparing figs is for those who enjoy unique flavors. And, of course, depending on the color of the figs, the color of the sauce will change. If fresh figs are not available, dried figs will work, but in that case, you should reduce the amount of sugar or omit it altogether.
