Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Figs | 8 |
| Prosciutto Crudo | 8 slices |
| Brown Sugar | 30g |
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Figs: Start by cleaning the figs gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove any dust or residue from the skin. Once clean, make a cross-shaped incision at the top of the fig, starting from the stem. Be careful not to cut all the way through—just enough to open the fig into four wedges.
-
-
Sweeten the Figs: Place the incised figs on a baking tray or large platter. Sprinkle a generous amount of brown sugar over the open edges of the fig, allowing the sugar to settle into the flesh.
-
Caramelize the Figs: Using a kitchen torch (cannelé), caramelize the brown sugar on top of the figs. The heat from the torch will create a beautiful, slightly crispy, golden surface, giving the figs a lovely caramelized texture.
-
Assemble the Roselline: Gently wrap a slice of prosciutto crudo around the center of each fig, forming a delicate rosette shape. Each fig should have one slice of prosciutto, nestled neatly within the open segments.
-
Serve: Arrange the finished figs on a serving platter. Serve immediately while they are still fresh, warm, and wonderfully aromatic.
Pro Tip:
To enhance the flavor, try adding a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of cracked black pepper before serving. This will complement the sweetness of the figs and the saltiness of the prosciutto, making for a more complex and satisfying taste.
Enjoy this easy and sophisticated appetizer that will impress your guests with its balance of sweetness and savory goodness. Perfect for casual get-togethers or elegant dinner parties, these Prosciutto Crudo Roselline on Figs are sure to be a hit!
