This recipe for Granola with pistachio, fig and olive oil has been designed to find its place in a real family kitchen: easy-to-read preparation, accessible ingredients and a result neat enough to be served to guests.

Actions that make a difference
To achieve the texture and flavors, add the figs after cooking so that they remain soft and choose a fruity oil without excessive bitterness. The times indicated are a guide: the power of the oven, the size of the pieces and the initial temperature of the ingredients can slightly modify the cooking. So look at the color, consistency and scent rather than the timer alone. Taste before adding salt, then gradually adjust the acidity, spices or seasoning. This simple method avoids hiding the main products and gives consistent results, even when preparing the recipe for the first time.
Service and preservation
When serving, sprinkle it over sheep's yogurt and finish with a little orange zest. To create a harmonious meal, accompany it with fresh fruit, mint tea or light coffee. The quantities can be adapted to the number of guests while maintaining the same proportions. Only keep the dried fruit and crispy base together when everything is cold, then close the jar carefully. The nutritional values presented on the sheet remain estimates: they vary depending on the brands, the maturity of the products and the portions actually served. You can finally personalize the finish with fresh herbs, a drizzle of olive oil or a crunchy touch, without losing the original spirit of the recipe.
