Truffle Figs in Port Syrup
Luke created these truffle figs for MasterChef UK Professionals Series 18. Port-poached figs gain extraordinary depth from truffle honey stirred into the warm syrup off the heat — a six-ingredient recipe that takes under 30 minutes and rewards the effort many times over. Equally at home alongside a cheese board, charcuterie, or vanilla ice cream, these figs are as versatile as they are elegant.
