Bacon Wrapped Figs Ingredients • 12 dried figs • ½ cup goat cheese (cranberry goat cheese works beautifully) • 12 slices Briwood bacon Directions Preheat oven to 375°F. Rehydrate figs by simmering them in hot water for 12 minutes, then pat dry. Slice each fig in half. Smother the inside of the figs with goat cheese. Wrap each fig with half a slice of bacon and secure with toothpick. Place prepared bacon-wrapped figs seam side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 25–30 minutes. Remove from oven and serve warm. Lemon Almond String Beans Ingredients • 2 tbsp sliced almonds • 1 lb green beans, trimmed • 2–3 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into small chunks • Zest of 1 lemon, finely grated • Salt • Freshly ground black pepper Directions In a small skillet over medium-high heat, toast the almonds, shaking often, until golden brown, about 2–3 minutes. Set aside to cool. Bring a saucepan of water to a boil and salt generously. Add the green beans and cook until crisp-tender, 5–6 minutes. Drain well. Toss beans with butter and lemon zest, then season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl and scatter the toasted almonds over top. Serve warm.
