Prosciutto Wrapped Figs w/ Olive Oil Drizzle
This Italian classic is a perfect treat before a large meal whenever figs are in season. Fresh figs have a short season but if you can't find fresh you can use dried mission figs. Dried are good but not the same as fresh figs. A perfect hors d'oeuvre to serve with Prosecco (Italian champagne).
Ingredients
- Fresh Figs (or dry mission figs)
- Prosciutto (or Spanish Serrano Ham)
- Olive Oil (to drizzle)
Instructions
- Wash, dry and slice Fresh Figs in half or quarter depending on size.
- Have the best Prosciutto (or Spanish Serrano Ham) you can find thinly sliced and remove any excess fat. Cut the meat lengthwise into 1-inch strips.
- Wrap figs in the strips of meat and secure with a toothpick. Place on a serving platter and drizzle with the best olive oil you have.
- Leave at room temperature until ready to serve.
