Mozzarella with figs and prosciutto ham

















U la la.. We made a exquisite starter. The sweetness of the figs, the saltiness of the prosciutto, the chewiness of the mozzarella and the quirky taste of balsamic reduced sauce- all soooo good! If you manage to get a hold on fresh figs, please, please make this dish- you'll love it! We PROMISE!

Type of dish: starter
Cost: expensive
Difficulty:  easy
Time:  15 min
Serves: 4
Preparation time: 15 min

What you need to make this dish:
Cutting board, 4 plates , sharp knife,  stainless steel frying pan, whisk, spoon

Ingredients:
  • 4 mozzarella
  • 4 fresh figs
  • 1 1/2 cup Balsamic vinegar from Modena
  • Pinch ofsugar
  • 4 slices of prosciutto ham

How to prepare:

Heat up on high heat the frying pan,and turn on the fan. It's gonna get hot! Pour in the balsamic vinegar and add the sugar. Mix all the time with the whisk, until the vinegar has reduced by over a half, and thickened slightly. Leave to cool. Cut the figs in 4, and cut each mozzarella also in 4, but try not to cut through completly. On each plate, place on mozzarella, put on it the 4 fig pieces, and next to it swirl around 1 slice of prosciutto. Drizzle all over the plate a spoon of the reduced balsamic vinegar and serve!
