FRESH FIG, PROSCIUTTO, AND ARUGULA SALAD WITH PARMESAN SHAVINGS



Fresh Fig, Prosciutto, and Arugula Salad with Parmesan Shavings image

Categories     Salad     Parmesan     Fig     Arugula     Summer     Prosciutto     Gourmet

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

For vinaigrette
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
freshly ground black pepper to taste
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large bunches arugula (about 1/2 pound total)
6 firm-ripe green or purple figs (about 1/2 pound)
6 to 8 large thin prosciutto slices (preferably San Daniele; about 6 ounces total)
a piece Parmigiano-Reggiano (about 1/3 pound)

Steps:

  • Make vinaigrette
  • In a small bowl whisk together vinegar, mustard, pepper, and salt to taste. In a slow stream whisk in oil until emulsified.
  • Discard stems from arugula and transfer leaves to a large bowl. Trim tough stem ends from figs and cut each fig into 8 wedges. Trim some of fat from prosciutto if desired. Halve 6 prosciutto slices lengthwise. Overlap narrow ends of 2 halves by 1 to 2 inches, pressing together gently, to form 6 pieces about 13 inches long (use remaining 2 prosciutto slices if necessary). Transfer long prosciutto pieces as prepared to a tray lined with plastic wrap. With a vegetable peeler shave about 36 thin slices from Parmigiano-Reggiano.
  • Toss arugula with about 3 tablespoons vinaigrette and mound in center of each of 6 plates. Arrange long prosciutto pieces in a ring around each mound of arugula, overlapping ends to secure . Arrange figs and Parmigiano-Reggiano shavings on and around salad and drizzle salads with remaining vinaigrette.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, fresh figs: Look for figs that are plump and have a slight give when gently pressed. Avoid figs that are bruised or have any signs of spoilage.
  • Use high-quality prosciutto: The flavor of the prosciutto will greatly impact the dish, so it's important to use a good quality variety. Look for prosciutto that is thinly sliced and has a slightly sweet and salty taste.
  • Grate the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese finely: This will help it distribute evenly throughout the dish and melt smoothly.
  • Use a large skillet: This will give the figs plenty of room to cook evenly without overcrowding.
  • Cook the figs over medium heat: This will help them caramelize and develop a slightly crispy exterior while still remaining tender on the inside.
  • Add the prosciutto and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese towards the end of cooking: This will prevent the prosciutto from becoming dry and tough, and the cheese from melting too much.
  • Serve the figs immediately: This dish is best enjoyed fresh out of the skillet, while the figs are still warm and the prosciutto is crispy.

Conclusion:

This sautéed figs with prosciutto and Parmigiano-Reggiano is a delicious and easy appetizer or side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and savory flavors of the figs, prosciutto, and cheese complement each other perfectly, and the dish is sure to be a hit with your guests. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy recipe that is both delicious and impressive, give this one a try.
