This is a decadent little treat I like to prepare when fresh figs are in season. It’s a classic combination of flavours and textures – sweet, salty and tart. I like to serve this as a starter at a dinner party.
Ingredients
- 1 large white onion sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon honey or real maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar or red wine vinegar
- 4 large fresh figs ripe but not too soft
- 4 large slices prosciutto
- 150 g goat cheese 5-6 oz.
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a frying pan and sauté the onion with a little salt on medium heat until soft and golden brown. Add honey or maple syrup and vinegar and cook for a further three minutes until onion is darkened and caramelised.
- Slice the figs into three 1-cm discs. Use the largest discs as the bottom layer of the stacks. Spoon a small amount of onion on top of the bottom disc, layer with goats cheese and half a slice of prosciutto. Follow with another fig disc, cheese and prosciutto. Add the smallest disc to the top with a little extra goats cheese and caramelised onions.
- Garnish with a little fresh thyme or basil and a drizzle of olive oil. Delish!
