Sweet-tangy balsamic vinegar reduces to a syrupy glaze that glistens atop this simple yet elegant first course. Ingredients:
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar |
2 tablespoons honey |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
2 ounces very thin slices prosciutto, cut into 1/8-inch-wide strips |
12 large dark-skinned fresh figs, halved (such as black mission, celeste, or brown turkey, about 1 pound) |
3/4 cup (3 ounces) crumbled gorgonzola cheese |
Directions:
1. Combine first 4 ingredients in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until reduced to 1/4 cup (about 8 minutes). Cool.
2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add prosciutto; sauté 3 minutes or until lightly browned.
3. Arrange 4 fig halves on each of 6 salad plates. Divide prosciutto evenly over servings. Sprinkle each serving with 2 tablespoons cheese; drizzle with 2 teaspoons balsamic reduction. Serve immediately.
