I’m obsessed with a little fruit called a fig. It’s possible
that this is being thrown into hyperdrive by the fact that the boy has been out
of town all well, but I haven’t been able to stop thinking (and admittedly,
dreaming) about them since my gushfest
about Stella and the STELLAR (see what I did there?) appetizer I had on
Saturday.
By yesterday around 3 PM, I had made the decision to take
matters into my own hands after work and hunt down some figs and prosciutto. I
HAD to recreate that dish if I was ever going to move on with my life. And
granted, I don’t have local honey on hand and my prosciutto was store-bought,
it made for a delicious solo Wednesday night dinner.
There’s no real recipe here, but this is what I used for a 1
person serving:
2 very thin slices prosciutto
2 fresh figs, stemmed and quartered
3 basil leaves, thinly sliced
4 TBSP gorgonzola crumbles
Drizzle of honey
2 TBSP drizzle Honey
Ginger Vinegar (I know this place is local, but I HIGHLY recommend all of
their products – post coming soon. And clearly I need to invest in the Fig
balsamic, stat.)
