I added grilled Portabella mushrooms to this. More garlic. Rosemary instead of thyme. Forgot the capers - darn! Left out the walnuts to keep the fat level down, but it would have been even better had I included them. Next time, I think I'll just chop the dried figs so they aren't lost in the processor, instead of simmering them until they're soft. Thanks for a fabulous, flexible recipe!
