Fresh Figs Stuffed with Goat Cheese

Here is a quick recipe for fresh figs.  They are really yummy and good for you too.  I think they'd go great with a nice glass of Riesling wine, sitting on the deck on a beautiful summer's evening.

If you've never tasted fresh figs you don't know what you are missing.  They are delicate in flavor and texture and oh so delicious.  Easily bruised, handle gently.

Recipe

Fresh Figs (as many as you want)

Goat Cheese (enough to cover the halved figs)

Balsamic Vinegar (just a drizzle over the figs)

Chopped Pecans (just enough)

Slice the figs in half.  Mix all ingredients together except figs and vinegar.  Top figs with mixture and drizzle with balsamic vinegar.  Broil until cheese gets bubbly.  Serve with wine and chill out!

It isn't Pretty

Ok I know this isn't a pretty lunch and I wasn't even going to post about it or photograph it....but then I tasted it!  Portabella mushrooms nestled in a rice tortia.  I love those rice tortias they crisp up nicely.  Here's the recipe.

Portabella Taco

3 Portabella Mushrooms

1/2 onion diced

olive oil

balsamic vinegar

sprinkle of parmesan

I sauteed the onion and mushrooms in olive oil then spritzed with balsamic vinegar.  Toasted tortia right on the glas top stove, fliped over and loaded with mushroom then folded in half.  Flipped over again and again until toasty enough.  That's enough for two big tacos.
