| Roasted Gorgonzola Stuffed Prosciutto Wrapped Figs A recipe by
Marie Simmons | | Roasted Gorgonzola Stuffed Prosciutto Wrapped Figs
– Prosciutto and figs are a classic combination. This particular recipe has made the rounds of
innumerable restaurant menus for several years now. I haven't a clue which chef deserves credit for
such a brilliant recipe, but it is a memorable dish that is sure to leave the diner swooning, and
later dreaming for more. If you're not a gorgonzola fan experiment with other cheeses. Adapted from
the forthcoming book Fig Heaven by Marie Simmons. | | | - 8 large
firm ripe Brown Turkey or other large figs, stems trimmed
- 8 cubes (about 1/2 inch each)
gorgonzola cheese
- 8 thin slices prosciutto di Parma
- 8 leaves radicchio

| 1. Preheat oven to 500˚F. 2. Cut a cross in the top
of each fig cutting about 1/2 inch deep. Pull the four corners open and insert the cube of cheese into
each fig. Place the figs in a large baking dish. 3. Wrap prosciutto around the sides of the
figs, overlapping edges. Roast until prosciutto is crisped on edges and fig is warmed through, about
12 minutes. Arrange a radicchio leaf on each salad plate and place the fig in the center of each
leaf. Serve hot. Makes 8 servings Copyright © 2003 by Marie
