Prosciutto Standing Rib Roast With Figs Recipes

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 in half 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

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
• Cut a small hole in the center of the flesh of each fig. Fill each hole with 1/4 teaspoon of goat cheese.
• Take a prosciutto slice and tear in half. Use 1 half to diagonally wrap around the fig, starting from the top. Tuck underneath at the ends. Repeat until all figs are wrapped. (Secure with toothpicks if necessary.) Place wrapped figs on prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced.
• In a small bowl, combine honey and pumpkin pie spice. Drizzle honey evenly over each fig.

STANDING RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Tie roast to ribs with butcher's string. Leave in a refrigerator, uncovered, for 8 hours or overnight to dry.
• Remove roast from the refrigerator 4 to 6 hours prior to roasting.
• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C).
• Place a layer of onion and celery in the bottom of a roasting pan. Generously coat all sides of the roast with spice rub and place on top of onion and celery in the roasting pan with ribs down. Insert an oven-safe thermometer into the center of the roast.
• Roast on the lower rack of the preheated oven until the internal temperature reaches 125 degrees F (52 degrees C), about 1 hour and 40 minutes. Raise the oven temperature to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C) and roast for 20 more minutes.
• Remove roast to a cutting board and tent with foil until the internal temperature reaches 135 to 140 degrees F (54 to 60 degrees C) for medium-rare, 30 to 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, remove onion and celery and place in a saucepan. Drain off fat from the roasting pan, reserving 1 to 2 tablespoons. Deglaze the roasting pan with wine, scraping up browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon; transfer to the saucepan. Add beef stock and beef base. Let simmer to reduce by 1/3 until slightly thickened. Remove onions and celery from saucepan and keep hot. Serve with roast.

FIGS WITH PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Halve the figs lengthways and put them, cut side down, without oil, in a hot griddle pan (or heavy-based frying pan) for 1 minute until charred. Sprinkle with balsamic vinegar and salt and black pepper to taste, and, while still warm, wrap each half in a little piece of prosciutto.
• Serve as canapés or a starter, garnished with shaved parmesan and fresh mint or rocket leaves.

RISOTTO WITH FRESH FIGS AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Heat vegetable stock in a large pot and keep warm over low heat.
• Heat 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat. Add green onion; cook and stir until softened, about 1 minute. Pour in rice and stir until coated in butter and oil and starting to toast, 2 to 3 minutes. Increase heat and pour in wine. Simmer until alcohol has evaporated and the wine is mostly absorbed. Reduce heat to medium and stir in 1 ladle of boiling broth. Continue stirring until the rice has absorbed the liquid and turned creamy. Once the liquid has been fully absorbed, add the next ladle. Repeat this process, stirring constantly until all liquid has been used or rice is tender yet firm to the bite (al dente). Stirring in the broth should take 12 to 15 minutes in all.
• Meanwhile, chop 10 figs. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium skillet and cook chopped figs until soft and coated in butter, 4 to 5 minutes. Crush figs gently with a wooden spoon while cooking. Stir in prosciutto. Add fig-prosciutto mixture to the risotto when there are about 5 minutes left to cook.
• Remove risotto from heat; stir in remaining 2 tablespoons butter and grated Pecorino romano cheese. Let stand for a few minutes.
• Divide risotto evenly onto 4 plates, garnishing each with a whole fig before serving.
