The Mija Chronicles

Mexican food and culture, on both sides of the border

A light Mexican breakfast

February 11, 2009 by Lesley Tellez

Anise rolls with fig

Anise rolls, purchased at the tianguis, with homemade balsamic-fig chutney. (What’s in the chutney, you ask? Oh, a little butter, a little balsamic, a little turbinado scented with vanilla.)

Compared to Dallas, figs are insanely cheap here. I bought about seven of them — big, plump, juicy ones — for 15 pesos. In Dallas they’re $10 a pound.
