Figs with prosciutto

Figs with prosciutto is a delightful and elegant appetizer that combines the sweetness of fresh figs with the savory, salty flavor of prosciutto. This simple yet sophisticated dish is perfect for impressing guests at dinner parties or enjoying as a special treat at home.

Ingredients:

4 figs
200g
1 cup vinegar
260g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
2 oz prosciutto
54g
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
5g
1 tbsp parsley
3.20g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Figs:
- Wash the figs gently under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Cut the figs in half lengthwise and set them aside.
2. Season the Figs:
- Place the fig halves in a shallow dish.
- Pour the vinegar over the figs and let them marinate for at least 10 minutes, allowing them to soak up the tangy flavor.
3. Season the Figs with Salt and Pepper:
- After marinating, remove the figs from the vinegar and place them on a serving platter.
- Lightly season the figs with a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper for added flavor.
4. Prepare the Prosciutto:
- Carefully cut or tear the prosciutto slices into smaller pieces if they are too large.
- Place the pieces of prosciutto over the seasoned fig halves, ensuring each fig has a piece of prosciutto on it.
5. Add the Parmesan Cheese:
- Evenly sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the figs and prosciutto, adding a savory touch to the dish.
6. Garnish with Spearmint:
- Roughly chop or tear the spearmint leaves.
- Garnish the dish by sprinkling the spearmint over the figs, prosciutto, and parmesan cheese.
7. Serve:
- Arrange the prepared figs with prosciutto on a serving platter.
- Serve immediately as an appetizer or part of a small plate spread.

Tips:

- Choose ripe figs: Make sure to select figs that are plump and slightly soft to the touch. Ripe figs will be sweeter and have a better texture.

- Use good quality prosciutto: For the best flavor, opt for a high-quality prosciutto. The quality of the prosciutto will greatly affect the overall taste of the dish.

- Balance the flavors: The saltiness of the prosciutto pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the figs. Be careful not to add too much salt, as the prosciutto is already quite salty.

- Presentation is key: Arrange the figs and prosciutto beautifully on a serving plate. Garnish with freshly grated parmesan and spearmint for an elegant touch.

- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after preparation to ensure the prosciutto remains crisp and the figs stay fresh.

By following these easy steps, you can create a delicious and visually appealing dish that is sure to impress. The combination of sweet figs, savory prosciutto, and the subtle hints of parmesan and spearmint will leave your taste buds wanting more. Enjoy your homemade Figs with Prosciutto!
