This Turkish-inspired dish is composed of fresh figs stuffed with homemade cashew cream. The cashew cream is a great substitute for the sweet-ish Turkish cheese. It has a soft texture, almost like tofu but is more like a thick grainy cream cheese. The crispy green and fresh cucumber with a pleasant lemon dressing go perfectly with the sweet stuffed figs.
