1. Put the onion, sugar, spices, ginger and vinegar in a pan and cook together slowly until the onion is completely softened.
2. Add the fig wedges and cook for another 5-10 minutes until the figs are just starting to break down. To serve, top the crostini with a little Manchego, some fig chutney and a couple of rocket sprigs.

  I left out the star anise for this recipe as I didn't have any at home but it was still absolutely delicious - a really unusual and special dish. We ate it with a few other antipasti type things and had a nice bottle of red!

  never used fresh figs before so had no idea what to do with the half dozen handed to me from a friends tree. Made this chutney but without the Star Anise - it was really tasty, ate it with a warm goats cheese and rocket salad.

  This was one of the best starters I have ever done. My guests all marked it 10/10 and left with the recipe! It is absolutely gorgeous and tastes like you have slaved in the kitchen for hours. Highly recommended!

  I cut up the figs extra small and had it with blue cheese on a ciabatta sandwich. Unconventional perhaps but very tasty.

  I served this with the butterflied leg of lamb with paprika that was cooked on the grill. Star anise is easy to get from places like chefshop.com. Very simple to make.
