Preparation
This sweet compote of dried apricots and figs is flavored with cardamom, fennel and ginger and served with Greek yogurt.
- Bring 2 cups of water, the ginger, fennel seeds and cardamom seeds to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the tea bags and remove from the heat. After 3 minutes, remove the bags with a slotted spoon and discard.
- Add the apricots, figs and sugar. Bring back to a boil, then reduce the heat. Simmer with the lid partly open for 20–25 minutes, until the fruit is tender and the liquid has become a thick syrup.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Serve the Greek yogurt alongside, drizzled with a little syrup.
