Steps:
- Heat vegetable stock in a large pot and keep warm over low heat.
- Heat 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat. Add green onion; cook and stir until softened, about 1 minute. Pour in rice and stir until coated in butter and oil and starting to toast, 2 to 3 minutes. Increase heat and pour in wine. Simmer until alcohol has evaporated and the wine is mostly absorbed. Reduce heat to medium and stir in 1 ladle of boiling broth. Continue stirring until the rice has absorbed the liquid and turned creamy. Once the liquid has been fully absorbed, add the next ladle. Repeat this process, stirring constantly until all liquid has been used or rice is tender yet firm to the bite (al dente). Stirring in the broth should take 12 to 15 minutes in all.
- Meanwhile, chop 10 figs. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium skillet and cook chopped figs until soft and coated in butter, 4 to 5 minutes. Crush figs gently with a wooden spoon while cooking. Stir in prosciutto. Add fig-prosciutto mixture to the risotto when there are about 5 minutes left to cook.
- Remove risotto from heat; stir in remaining 2 tablespoons butter and grated Pecorino romano cheese. Let stand for a few minutes.
- Divide risotto evenly onto 4 plates, garnishing each with a whole fig before serving.

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.
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
