00:00:00so fix we’re going to prepare them and

00:00:02we’re just going to prepare them to eat

00:00:05and we’re going to serve them with some

00:00:06mozzarella there’s a little treat for

00:00:08ourselves

00:00:09and they’re really delicious on their

00:00:11own so what we need to do is prep them

00:00:14in a way that shows us what’s inside

00:00:16which is delicious and gooey and looks

00:00:19beautiful so you want nice soft figs so

00:00:22Roy will you give us all a few figs each

00:00:25and they’re nice and soft

00:00:32thank you so what you want to do is seat

00:00:40your fig on its bum nice not safe on the

00:00:43board

00:00:44your little paring knife you’re going to

00:00:46do a crisscross so you go sort of almost

00:00:51down to the bottom but leave like a

00:00:53centimeter three-quarters of the way

00:00:56down put your knives down you want to

00:01:05squeeze all the loveliness that’s inside

00:01:07out each of these quarters you put a

00:01:10thumb and a finger on each and that’s it

00:01:16so when it’s opened up you can see the

00:01:18beautiful insides and it looks like a

00:01:20flower you’re done beautiful

00:01:29then we’re just going to finish it off

00:01:31Oh Shona

00:01:34I won’t eat to tear this into pieces

00:01:37tear it in half and that feel good and

00:01:40then into smaller pieces because we’ll

00:01:42take a little bit mozzarella

00:01:44we’ll put it in a fig and then we can

00:01:45eat them or you can do salt and pepper

00:01:50just tear it up and then put it back on

00:01:56the board

00:02:07on the board Roy give us a sprinkle of

00:02:13salt and pepper over everything that’s

00:02:19it you don’t want to tear it up too much

00:02:20nice and bits a little bit of salt do it

00:02:28from quite high up because then the salt

00:02:30Falls nice and evenly over everything

00:02:32little bit of olive oil you go and

00:02:36that’s it beautifully prepared figs that

00:02:38we can over the bit of mozzarella
