Chef tips

To keep the figs looking beautiful, score them gently and make sure the walnuts are packed in tightly. This is a fun, easy stuffing task that the kids will love to help with! For a more festive look, serve the figs with mascarpone cheese or thick Greek yogurt. If there’s a nut allergy, you can easily swap the filling for roasted pumpkin seeds.
