Figs go well with, well, anything
Before I embrace all that fall has to offer (pumpkins, pears, apples and gourds), I’m on one last fig kick. I can’t help myself. Figs are so beautiful, tasty and go with anything. When I cut into a fig and see its bright red and yellow colors, I think, “Gosh, that would go well on ...” and the list of tapas, salads and desserts flood my brain.
In fact, readers may have recognized my recent obsession with figs on my blog, http://www.clearlydeliciousfoodblog.com. (Yes, that includes everything from fig tarts to fig preserves to fig oatmeal!) See? Figs truly go well with or on anything!
For my final tribute of the season to my figgy friends, I have prepared them the way they have always meant to be served — bedded at room temperature with prosciutto and spinach greens. The dish pays homage to classic antipasti menus everywhere with an elegant simplicity sure to please the most finicky dinner guest.
