FIG, PROSCIUTTO, GORGONZOLA SALAD

Steps:

• Combine first 4 ingredients in a small saucepan; bring to a boil.

ROASTED FIGS AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Snip the hard stems off the figs and cut the figs in half lengthwise through the stem. With a small sharp knife, cut the prosciutto lengthwise into inch-wide strips. Wrap a strip of prosciutto around the center of each fig half, with the ends overlapping. Brush with olive oil and arrange cut-side up on a sheet pan.
• Roast the figs for 10 minutes, until the prosciutto is a little crisp and the figs are warmed through. Serve warm.

PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED FIGS WITH GORGONZOLA AND WALNUTS

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Cover large rimmed baking sheet with foil. Wrap each fig half with 1 prosciutto strip; place on prepared sheet. Broil until prosciutto chars slightly on edges, about 1 1/2 minutes. Turn figs; broil about 1 1/2 minutes longer, watching closely to prevent burning. Place 1/2 teaspoon Gorgonzola atop each fig half. Top each with walnut piece. Serve warm or at room temperature.

FIG AND CRISPY PROSCIUTTO SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place slices of prosciutto flat on parchment paper over a baking sheet. Bake about 13 minutes, or until fairly crisp. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Break the prosciutto up into pieces and set aside.
• Assemble salad with the spinach and basil on the bottom. Top with figs and crispy prosciutto, and dress with balsamic vinegar and truffle oil, to taste.
