Figs in syrup with Greek yoghurt

Orientally sweet

Feigen in Sirup mit griechischem Joghurt

Fresh yoghurt and sweet figs

Original documents from Greek mythology, Christianity and Islam alike all show the fig as playing a key role. Figs are the world’s oldest fruits, and should today still be part of every diet due to their balanced vitamin, iron, potassium and calcium content. The concentration of these nutrients is even higher in dried figs.

In the meantime, drain the figs, cut them into halves, and add to the syrup. Allow to simmer for a further 5 minutes until the figs are soft. Then remove from the stove, and take out the cinnamon stick.
