One for the Table: Seduced by Greek yogurt parfaits

By Susan Russo on

Oscar Wilde said, "I can resist everything but temptation." I think he had fresh figs in mind when he said that.

Consider this: Recently, at the farmers' market, I spotted close to a dozen people eating fresh figs as they shopped. That's because everything about fresh figs is irresistible: their pleasingly plump stature, their velvet skin splitting with ripeness, their ambrosial pink flesh.

Despite fresh figs' high price tag, usually $4 to $6 per pound, San Diego shoppers couldn't get enough of them. I also can't get enough of these simple, no-bake Greek yogurt, fresh fig and black currant parfaits. This dessert proves that opposites attract: Sweet figs and tart black currants, syrupy honey and spicy cinnamon, and earthy rosemary and tangy lemon zest are enfolded in luscious, creamy Greek yogurt.

I just know Oscar Wilde wouldn't have been able to resist them either.
