Prosciutto Wrapped Endive W/ Balsamic Fig Reduction - Rachael Ra image

I saw Rachael Ray preparing these on "30 Minute Meals" recently, then found endive on sale at Trader Joe's... I have the rest of the ingredients at home, so I couldn't resist! :)

Categories     Ham

Time 18m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 heads Belgian endive (or 2 heads endive and 2 small heads radicchio)
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/4 lb thinly sliced prosciutto
extra virgin olive oil, for brushing
2 dried figs, finely chopped
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Trim the heads of endive, and quarter them lengthwise.
  • Cut the sliced prosciutto in half on an angle across the center.
  • Over medium-high temperature, heat a grill pan or large skillet.
  • Season the prepared endive with salt and freshly ground pepper (I like tricolor peppercorns).
  • Wrap each endive with a piece of sliced prosciutto, then brush each with the extra-virgin olive oil.
  • Saute each on the grill pan or large skillet for 7 to 8 minutes, turning every couple of minutes, until the prosciutto is nicely crispy and the endive pieces are tender.
  • While the vegetables and ham are cooking, begin the reduction sauce: place the chopped figs and vinegar into a saucepan and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to medium and simmer sauce for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the figs are soft and the vinegar is nicely thick and syrupy.
  • When endives are done, place attractively on a serving dish and drizzle the fig and balsamic reduction over them.
  • Serve and enjoy!

This recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I was a bit disappointed with this recipe. The endive leaves were tough and the balsamic reduction was too tart.

I love the way the balsamic reduction caramelizes in the oven. It adds a delicious depth of flavor to the dish.

I'm not a big fan of endive, but this recipe changed my mind. The leaves were so tender and flavorful, and they really complemented the prosciutto and figs.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover figs. I always have a few extra figs lying around after I make fig jam, and this is the perfect way to use them up.

I was a bit skeptical about the combination of figs and prosciutto, but it totally worked! The sweetness of the figs balanced out the saltiness of the prosciutto perfectly.

This dish was a hit at my dinner party! The combination of sweet figs, tangy balsamic vinegar, and salty prosciutto was divine. The endive leaves were the perfect vessel for holding all the flavors.
