When fresh figs are in season, they make a fantastic addition to kebabs. They get soft and juicy after cooking over fire, with caramelized bits that boost their honeyed essence. They pair perfectly with meaty-rich lamb, but you can sub in sirloin steak if you’d rather. Opt for figs that feel firm; soft ones might fall apart on the grill.

Olive oil

Lemon zest
