Categories     Salad     Side     Roast     Fig     Prosciutto

Yield MAKES 16 WRAPPED FIGS; SERVES 4 TO 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 small chunk Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
8 large fresh figs
8 thin slices prosciutto
Extra-virgin olive oil for brushing
1 1/2 tablespoons aged sherry or balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Use a vegetable peeler to shave the Parmigiano into shards. Set aside.
  • Cut the figs in half lengthwise, and cut the prosciutto slices in half lengthwise as well. Wrap a piece of prosciutto around each fig, then brush lightly with the olive oil.
  • Heat a large skillet (ideally cast iron) or a grill pan over medium-high heat. When hot, arrange half the figs in a roomy single layer, cut side down, in the pan. Cook until the prosciutto is browned and crispy, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Then flip the figs and repeat on the other side. Transfer to a serving platter and cook the remaining figs in the same way.
  • Drizzle the vinegar over the figs and top with Parmigiano shavings. Serve warm or at room temperature.

This recipe was a bit too salty for me. I would probably use less prosciutto next time.

I found that the figs didn't caramelize as much as I would have liked. I think I'll try cooking them for a little longer next time.

This recipe is a little too sweet for my taste. I would probably reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I added a drizzle of balsamic vinegar at the end and it really brought out the flavor of the figs.

I didn't have any prosciutto, so I used thinly sliced ham instead. It worked out just fine.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the pine nuts for chopped walnuts. It turned out just as good!

This is a great recipe for using up leftover figs. I always have a few extra figs in my fridge and this is a great way to use them up.

I'm not a big fan of figs, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The prosciutto and Parmesan cheese balance out the sweetness of the figs perfectly.

This is one of my favorite recipes! The combination of figs, prosciutto, and Parmesan cheese is always a winner. I like to serve it as an appetizer or as a side dish with chicken or fish.
