Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 firm but ripe figs, preferably Adriatic figs, stemmed
1/2 to 3/4 cup (4 to 6 oz./125 to 180 g) fresh goat cheese,
preferably Pennyroyal Farm
12 paper-thin slices prosciutto
A handful of arugula
Saba for drizzling
Extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling
Freshly ground pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat a hot fire in a grill for grilling over direct and indirect heat. Using a sharp knife, make a lengthwise slit in a fig starting at the stem end, cutting about three-quarters of the way through the fruit. Gently open the fig and stuff it with 2 to 3 teaspoons of the goat cheese (the amount that will fit will depend on the size of the fig). Press the sides of the fig together to close. Wipe off any goat cheese remaining on the outside of the fig, then wrap 1 slice of the prosciutto around the fig, making sure the opening at the top of the fig is completely covered by the prosciutto. Repeat with the remaining figs, goat cheese and prosciutto. Thread a metal or wooden skewer horizontally through the center of each fig. Grill the figs over high heat, with the stem end (the side stuffed with goat cheese) facing up, until the bottom is nicely grill marked, about 1 minute. Using the skewer, turn the fig 180 degrees to form crosshatch grill marks and continue grilling about 1 minute more. Flip the figs so that the stem end is now facing down, move to a cooler part of the grill and cover the grill. This will allow the goat cheese to melt without the figs burning. Continue cooking until the goat cheese is just beginning to melt, about 3 minutes. Remove the figs from the grill and remove from the skewers. Spread the arugula on a platter and arrange the figs on top. Drizzle some saba and olive oil on top of the figs, season with pepper to taste and serve immediately. Serves 6.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would have preferred the figs to be a little more savory. The prosciutto and goat cheese were good, but I think I would have liked them better if they had been used in a different dish.

I'm not a big fan of figs, but I thought this recipe was delicious! The grilled figs were sweet and caramelized, and the prosciutto and goat cheese added a nice salty and creamy flavor. I would definitely make this recipe again.

These grilled figs were a disaster! The figs were mushy and the prosciutto was tough. The goat cheese was the only thing that was good about this dish.

I wasn't a big fan of this recipe. The grilled figs were bland and the prosciutto and goat cheese didn't add much flavor. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

The grilled figs were good, but I found the prosciutto to be a bit too salty. I would have preferred it to be a little more mild. The goat cheese was good, but I think it would have been better if it had been used in a different dish.
