Recipe: Stuffed and Wrapped Figs

Rachel Ray (Food TV) made this recipe on one of her recent 30 Minute Meals program. This was with fresh dates rather than dried so that might make a difference.

Stuffed and Wrapped Figs

12 figs, fresh or dried, washed and trimmed
6 thin slices prosciutto, halved crosswise into 12 short, thick pieces
1/4 pound ricotta salata, cut into small triangles 1-inch long
Mixed salad greens, washed, dried, and picked over

Slice the figs lengthwise (stem-to-flower end), about halfway through, making a little pocket.

Place 1 split fig onto each piece of prosciutto. Fill the center of the figs with pieces of ricotta salata.

Wrap the figs with the prosciutto, making a decorative flower.

Place the wrapped figs on a platter covered with salad greens.
