"prosciutto and figs" news and stories

An appetizer that's lush, combines four food groups, and that you can dip? Sold! As fig season intersects with the height of steamy-weather cocktail-party season, this is one cool customer you want at your shindig. Blogger eddybles blankets the figs with mint and prosciutto, and serves them on bamboo skewers for easy picking. Get the recipe here. The rich dip is made with goat cheese, star anise, white wine, shallots and cream. If you feel the dip is overkill, just skip it and the figs stand beautifully alone.

And because it's the season, try this Kitchen Daily recipe for figs stuffed with gorgonzola.
