PRESENTATION
Sweet and fleshy, figs are the most beloved fruits of summer. Delicious on their own when freshly picked, but when paired with other tempting ingredients, they become a delicacy that will enrich any course: for the appetizer, we present here a variation of the classic ham rosettes on figs: stuffed figs, made with the black, sugary, and dry variety, which allows for perfect wedges to be filled with the most tantalizing delights. We opted for the evergreen combination with cured ham enriched by the velvety touch of creamy aromatic robiola, but if you prefer a vegetarian version you can choose to make a tasty crostini with figs with ricotta cream. Take advantage of the warmer season to make your summer appetizers even more appetizing with these delicious stuffed figs!
