FIGS WRAPPED IN PROSCIUTTO

FIGS WRAPPED IN PROSCIUTTO

Servings: 5 servings
Course: Appetizer
Cuisine: Italian

Ingredients
  

  • 10 ripe figs 
  • 5 slices prosciutto
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp Calabrian chili paste
  • olive oil for drizzling
  • sprinkle of salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425ºF.
  2. Cut the stems off the figs and cut in half lengthwise through the stem. 
  3. In a small bowl, mix the honey and Calabrian chili paste together. Lightly spread the mixture on the flat side of the figs.
  4. Cut the prosciutto lengthwise into inch-wide strips. Wrap a strip of prosciutto around the center of each fig half, with the ends overlapping. 
  5. On a baking sheet lined with tinfoil, arrange cut-side up.
  6. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
  7. Roast the figs for 15 minutes, until the prosciutto is crisp and the figs are warmed through. 
  8. Serve warm.

Notes

If you can’t find Calabrian chili paste, any chili paste will do. You could even use a chili sauce like sriracha if you can’t find a paste.
If you have leftovers, keep them refrigerated and pop them into a 350ºF. oven to warm through. When serving, I scattered some micro-greens to add colour and a little freshness. I also drizzled a little honey over the figs for some added sweetness.
