Toasted Fig Leaf Oil
If you are lucky enough to have a fig tree or access to a fig tree then you should try this delicious oil! Fig leaves taste mildly of coconut with a grassy and bittersweet finish and are a unique and intoxicating scent and flavor. I like to drizzle this on ice cream or use it in salads or as a finishing oil.

Ingredients
- 10 fig leaves
- 1/2 cup avocado oil
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
- Add the fig leaves and use tongs to ensure they are below the water during boiling – boil for 30-60 seconds, until soft and bright green.
- Using tongs, remove the leaves and immediately submerge in ice water to shock the leaves (this helps them retain their green color).
- Wring out as much water as you can from the leaves and transfer them to a high power blender along with the oil. Blend on high until completely smooth. Pass through a coffee filter into a bowl (or clean paper towel). Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or the freezer for up to 2 months).
