Hey food lovers! Today, we're taking a beloved Greek summer classic to the next level—Caramelised Figs with Greek Yoghurt & Granola. This dish is creamy, crunchy, and naturally sweet, inspired by the way my grandparents served me fresh figs, honey, and yogurt in Greece. It’s wholesome, nourishing, and absolutely delicious—let’s make it!

Caramelised Figs with Greek Yoghurt and Granola (gluten-free)

Caramelized Figs with Greek Yoghurt and Granola
Serves: 3-4
Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 5 minutes

INGREDIENTS

500g+ quality Greek yoghurt (adjust quantity to personal preferences)
1+ cups of gluten-free granola (adjust quantity to personal preferences)
6-8 fresh figs, sliced in half
2 tablespoons of honey (for caramelizing) + extra
1 tablespoon of butter
1 teaspoon sugar
Ground cinnamon to sprinkle
Fresh basil leaves (about 3-4 per person)
Chia seeds or crushed walnuts (optional to garnish)

INSTRUCTIONS
Caramelize the Figs:
Place a small frying pan over medium heat.
Add the butter and melt it, swirling it around to coat the bottom of the pan.
Add the sliced figs and cook for a minute, allowing them to soften slightly and release some of their juices.
Drizzle honey over the figs and sprinkle a little sugar. Stir gently to coat. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce and figs turn lightly golden and become sticky.
Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Prepare the Yogurt:
Spoon the Greek yogurt into shallow serving bowls, smoothing the top with the back of the spoon.
Assemble:
Sprinkle gluten-free granola over the yoghurt.
Spoon the caramelized figs on top.
Drizzle some honey over the figs and yoghurt for added sweetness.
Garnish:
Sprinkle cinnamon over the top and optional chia seeds for added crunch and garnish with fresh basil leaves for a fresh, herbal contrast.
