Figs start arriving at the end of July and continue into the fall. This is when Black Fig with Balsamic Reduction and Prosciutto Ham is perfect! This dish again remindes me how much I like fresh figs.
Ingredients
- 5 black figs cut in half lengthwise
- 1-2 tbsp reduced balsamic vinegar
- 5 tspn fresh ricotta cheese
- 4-5 slices prosciutto ham
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients before starting recipe.
- Slice figs in half, and trim the bottom by slicing a thin sliver off the bottom of each fig. This will keep the fig halves even on a platter.
- Squeeze 1 teaspoons full of reduced balsamic glaze in the center of each fig.
- Top each half with a teaspoonful of fresh ricotta cheese.
- Top each fig half with a half of a lice of prosciutto and allow it to just settle on the fig, do not press it down.
