BY COLLEEN THOMPSON
Whether they’re served out of
hand, wrapped up in prosciutto,
stuffed with gorgonzola or chopped
up with peaches and tossed in a
salad, figs are having a culinary
moment.
The trending cuisines of Mediter-ranean
and Middle Eastern dishes
have varieties of the exotic fruit
appearing on menus across the
nation, showing off their versatility
in both sweet and savory applica-tions.
The Kadota, Black Mission,
Adriatic and Calimyrna are among
the favorite figs with American
chefs.
