This recipe is simple, healthy and delicious. Braised figs make a stunning display, and their delicate warm taste will not disappoint. Add braised figs to your oatmeal, on cottage cheese or even throw a few onto a salad. Not only are figs high in fiber, they are also loaded with potassium—a mineral important in controlling blood pressure.
