Prosciutto Di Parma With Grilled And Fresh Figs Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Snip the hard stems off the figs and cut the figs in half lengthwise through the stem. With a small sharp knife, cut the prosciutto lengthwise into inch-wide strips. Wrap a strip of prosciutto around the center of each fig half, with the ends overlapping. Brush with olive oil and arrange cut-side up on a sheet pan.
• Roast the figs for 10 minutes, until the prosciutto is a little crisp and the figs are warmed through. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Halve the figs lengthways and put them, cut side down, without oil, in a hot griddle pan (or heavy-based frying pan) for 1 minute until charred. Sprinkle with balsamic vinegar and salt and black pepper to taste, and, while still warm, wrap each half in a little piece of prosciutto.
• Serve as canapés or a starter, garnished with shaved parmesan and fresh mint or rocket leaves.

Steps:

• Preheat grill or broiler.
• Place 12 fig halves cut side down on the grill or cut side up on the broiler pan and cook 3 minutes, until just lightly browned. Transfer to mixing bowl and allow to cool.
• Add the remaining figs, rosemary, balsamic vinegar, Italian parsley, arugula, and olive oil to the cooled grilled figs and gently mix with your hands so as not to break the figs up.
• Divide the prosciutto among 4 plates. Arrange a portion of the fig salad on top of the prosciutto and serve immediately.
