Roasted Fresh Figs Stuffed With Fresh Ricotta And Wrapped In Prosciutto Food

ROASTED FIGS WITH FRESH RICOTTA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the figs, cut side up, in a baking dish. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat, and whisk in the honey, cinnamon and salt. Drizzle the hot honey butter over the figs and roast in oven until very soft, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Divide the fresh ricotta or fat free yogurt among 4 serving dishes and top with the warm figs and sauce. Enjoy!
• Cook's Note: These hot figs are really great over mixed greens or even on a toasted baguette as a crostini!

FRESH FIGS STUFFED AND WRAPPED WITH PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Mix filling ingredients together.
• Slice a small incision at the base of each fig. I place an eighth of mixture in each fig.
• Gentle wrap each fig so each is nestled holding in the stuffing.

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.

STUFFED AND WRAPPED FIGS

Steps:

• Slice the figs lengthwise (stem-to-flower end), about halfway through, making a little pocket.
• Place 1 split fig onto each piece of prosciutto. Fill the center of the figs with pieces of ricotta salata.
• Wrap the figs with the prosciutto, making a decorative flower.
• Place the wrapped figs on a platter covered with salad greens

PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED FIGS AND BLUE CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat grill. You will need medium to high heat for grilling. The key is to crisp the prosciutto quickly and leave the blue cheese just melted with the inner part of the fig cool in temperature.
• Cut the figs in half and place a piece of blue cheese on each fig half. Wrap the prosciutto around each fig half, covering the cheese. The ends of the prosciutto should overlap.
• Grill each piece until the prosciutto begins to color and crisp, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove from grill, lightly drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and season with sea salt and pepper. Serve warm.

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 to enclose like a little cocoon. Stand the figs on a sheet pan. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes so the prosciutto melts slightly and forms a skin around the figs. Season with lots of ground black pepper. These are terrific hot or at room temperature

ROASTED FRESH FIGS STUFFED WITH FRESH RICOTTA AND WRAPPED IN PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Scoop out as much of inside of each fig as is possible to maintain a nice solid shell. Wrap each fig with a prosciutto strand. Spoon ricotta into middle of each fig, mounding a little. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes to taste. Drizzle with white balsamic vinegar and then a touch of olive oil. Put into oven-proof pan or dish and broil until top gets a little browned and bubbly, about 7-10 minutes.

FIGS WITH PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Halve the figs lengthways and put them, cut side down, without oil, in a hot griddle pan (or heavy-based frying pan) for 1 minute until charred. Sprinkle with balsamic vinegar and salt and black pepper to taste, and, while still warm, wrap each half in a little piece of prosciutto.
• Serve as canapés or a starter, garnished with shaved parmesan and fresh mint or rocket leaves.
