Cream Cheese, Dried Fig, and Walnut Spread

Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• 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

• 1 Add figs to the container or a food processor; finely chop.
• 2 Add in the cream cheese; process until combined.
• 3 Add in the walnuts and salt; pulse just to blend.
• 4 Scrape mixture into a bowl.
• 5 Add in the scallions, if desired; stir to combine.
• 6 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.
