GRILLED PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED FIGS STUFFED WITH GORGONZOLA DOLCE

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 48 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

24 Black Mission figs, cut in half lengthwise
2 cups balsamic vinegar
2 pounds gorgonzola dolce
Crushed red pepper flakes
48 slices prosciutto
Extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the grill to medium-high.
  • Drizzle each fig half with vinegar and fill each fig center with 1 tablespoon of the cheese. Sprinkle a couple flakes of crushed red pepper on top of the cheese and wrap each fig with a slice of prosciutto. Paint the outside of each fig very lightly with olive oil.
  • Put the figs on the grill. The idea here is that we want to grill the figs gently to cook the fig all the way through but to still get the char on the outside. Grill the figs on all sides so the prosciutto is starting to become crispy and the fig feels soft when squeezed, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Drizzle a couple of drops of balsamic on each and serve. It's figgy delicious!

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers     Finger Food Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 ounces fresh soft goat cheese
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
24 fresh figs, mixed varieties
1/4 pound thinly sliced prosciutto
6 long woody sprigs rosemary
Olive oil for brushing and drizzling

Steps:

  • Combine goat cheese, rosemary, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small mixing bowl, and stir.
  • Make a small slit in bottom or side of each fig. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a small plain tip with cheese mixture. Pipe cheese into each fig through slit. Fill figs with just enough cheese so they expand slightly.
  • Tear or cut the prosciutto slices into long strips. Wrap a strip of prosciutto around each fig, and skewer 4 figs on each rosemary sprig. Brush figs with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place figs on a moderately hot grill, rotating skewers until figs are very hot and cheese starts to ooze, about 6 minutes. Remove from grill; serve immediately with a drizzle of olive oil and good bread.

Categories     appetizer

Time 12m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 Black Mission figs
1/2 cup blue cheese, cut into cubes
8 prosciutto (thinly sliced, cut in half lengthwise)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat grill. You will need medium to high heat for grilling. The key is to crisp the prosciutto quickly and leave the blue cheese just melted with the inner part of the fig cool in temperature.
  • Cut the figs in half and place a piece of blue cheese on each fig half. Wrap the prosciutto around each fig half, covering the cheese. The ends of the prosciutto should overlap.
  • Grill each piece until the prosciutto begins to color and crisp, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove from grill, lightly drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and season with sea salt and pepper. Serve warm.
