- 6 large calimyrna dried figs, stems trimmed, quartered
- 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onion tops
Directions
-
Add figs to the container or a food processor; finely chop.
-
Add in the cream cheese; process until combined.
-
Add in the walnuts and salt; pulse just to blend.

Note—to finely chop figs in a food processor, lightly brush or spray the inside of the processor bowl and metal blade with vegetable oil; if the figs are unusually dry, reconstitute them in boiling water for 10 minutes, drain, and blot dry before chopping.
