Fresh Figs with Ricotta

Posted on 21 October 2011 by Cathy

Figs are rich in fiber, potassium and manganese. They’re also a surprising source of calcium. It is thought they were first cultivated about 11,000 years ago in south-central Asia and I love them!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8 fresh figs, split down the middle (do not cut all the way through)
1/2 cup ricotta
2 pieces of prosciutto each split into 4 pieces
4 tablespoons honey

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ripe figs spoil right away. Keep them in the refrigerator only for a few days.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Split the figs but not all the way like this, I just wanted you to see what they look like inside.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next slide a piece of  prosciutto inside. Then take a spoon and fill the centers with ricotta and drizzle with honey… yum!
