Green Fig Pie with Salad
Anyhow, I took the recipe and added my own style to it (I have a meat mouth, Ha Ha !). But you can prepare this meal without the meat. This delicious meal can be enjoyed by everyone, especially those who love anything baked with cheese like my son. The meal will take a little time to prepare and some cleaning up is required, but it is certainly worth it. Like me, you may want it often…. I think I’ll have some tomorrow… Again!

That’s it for another post. Until next time.

That’s a very interesting pie. I was thinking it was the kind of figs we have up here. But still, very nice recipe.
Well Ben, welcome to Trinidad and Tobago. Down here we call green bananas – fig. Check out my trini dictionary to get an idea how we speak, I’m sure you will enjoy it!
I looooove green fig pie. Even though I don’t like green figs any other way really! But you make it the wonderfully cheesy way that’s great (although I am not such a meat mouth though!)
This is very interesting. I also though that you meant the figs we get here but would any kind of unripe banana do? I would like to try this. Is there any taste of banana in this dish?
Any kind of green banana would do. Green bananas don’t have an overpowering taste; it is rather mild and when mixed up with the other ingredients it doesn’t taste as much but you will know it is there. If you enjoy this recipe you may also like my green fig punch
