Marinated figs
16 February 2011
The perfect party snack! Quick, easy and delicious!
Ingredients:
- 4 ripe figs
- 3 tbsp basil-infused oil
- 2 tsp red wine vinegar
- 8 slices prosciutto , halved lengthways
- 16 bocconcini (baby mozzarella balls)
- 16 basil leaves
- Salt & pepper
- 16 short wooden skewers
Preparation:
1. Cut the figs into 16 wedges and sit them in a bowl. Mix together the oil and vinegar, then pour it over the figs. Season well with salt and pepper, and leave to marinate at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
2. When the figs have marinated, thread each wedge on to a wooden skewer with some prosciutto, mozzarella and a basil leaf. The order in which you thread them is entirely up to you.
3. Once you have made all 16, sit them on a plate and drizzle over the remaining marinade. Serve at room temperature.
