ingredients
2 pounds ripe figs
12 lemon zest strips, 1 inch long and 1/4 inch wide, more or less as needed
2 cups sugar
rum, as needed (optional)
1 vanilla bean
directions
Arrange whole figs in a deep, wide saucepan. Cut a small slit at the top of each fig and insert a lemon zest strip into each slit. Sprinkle the sugar over the figs. Add more water, or part water and part rum, to a depth of 1/4 inch in the pan. Put vanilla bean in the center of the pan.
Place over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, until the sugar caramelizes, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm.
NOTE: Another version of this dish calls for making a medium-thick sugar syrup, allowing it to cool a bit, and then pouring it over the uncooked figs. A few drops of rum are added. The dish is then tightly sealed for a few hours so the figs absorb the syrup.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
If you're a fan of the menu at this American chain of restaurants which serves a variety of foods such as burgers, steaks, pasta, and seafood then you'll love this collection of copycat recipes.
