Here’s another dish with figs. Almost finished all the figs from my garden. This is the last batch of figs till next year when it’s on season again. I am glad that I have make use of my figs in so many ways. From breakfast with cereal, soups to lunch and dinner. Then make cakes and panna cotta.

Glad I have used all my culinary skill to make use of figs. Thanks to God for the abundant figs and helps with creative ideas. I am pleased to be able to share all my figs dishes with everyone. Figs certainly are a great fruit to have and a great use too.

As my last dish, got to be macaroni. This is a simple dish with nothing extravagant ingredients just every day ingredients added to fig. I dare say it’s a delicious, comforting meal to be eaten last. I thoroughly enjoy every recipe that I have created with figs. Let’s cook!!!

Put macaroni and enough water in microwave safe bowl, microwave about 16 minutes until macaroni is al dente and cooked. Drain and reserved 1/2 cup water. Set aside.

In a blender, add figs and about 30 ml water and blend until pureed. Then pour into a pan with vegetables stock to warm up and mix well. Once it’s warm add macaroni, toss to coat well.
