Prosciutto Roasted Figs Recipes

PROSCIUTTO-ROASTED FIGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Make a small slit in the side of each fig and stuff a raisin-size piece of cheese in the opening. Wrap a piece of prosciutto around each fig to enclose it. Stand the figs on a baking sheet. Bake until the prosciutto melts slightly and forms a skin around the figs, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle with honey and season with lots of pepper. Serve hot or at room temperature.

PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED FIGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
• Cut a small hole in the center of the flesh of each fig. Fill each hole with 1/4 teaspoon of goat cheese.
• Take a prosciutto slice and tear in half. Use 1 half to diagonally wrap around the fig, starting from the top. Tuck underneath at the ends. Repeat until all figs are wrapped. (Secure with toothpicks if necessary.) Place wrapped figs on prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced.
• In a small bowl, combine honey and pumpkin pie spice. Drizzle honey evenly over each fig.
• Place in the oven on the top rack and roast for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and serve immediately.

FIGS AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Arrange prosciutto in overlapping slices on a large platter. Place figs beside prosciutto, drizzle with vinegar, and garnish with fresh thyme sprigs.
• Sprinkle the Parmesan shavings over prosciutto and figs.

ROASTED FIGS WITH PROSCIUTTO AND GORGONZOLA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200oC.
• Make a small cut at the top of each fig and push in a little piece of gorgonzola. Wrap each fig in a slice of prosciutto.
• Bake in the oven for 15 minutes. The cheese will melt and the prosciutto will be crisp.
• Serve immediately on rocket leaves dressed in olive oil and salt, and finish with a little finely cracked pepper.

FRISéE SALAD WITH PROSCIUTTO, ROASTED FIGS, AND WALNUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Toss fresh figs with 2 tablespoons oil in bowl. Arrange figs on rimmed baking sheet. Roast until figs are tender and shiny, about 12 minutes. (Do not roast dried figs.) Cool. Cut figs lengthwise in half.
• Whisk remaining 1/2 cup oil and vinegar in small bowl to blend. Add cheese and whisk to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Figs and dressing can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover separately and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature and rewhisk dressing before using.)
• Combine frisée, baby greens, watercress, prosciutto and walnuts in large bowl. Add dressing; toss to coat. Gently mix in figs. Transfer to serving bowl.
