Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 18 hors d'oeuvres

Ingredients

For the fig spread

1/4 cup finely chopped stemmed dried Black Mission figs
2 tablespoons Port
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
1/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste
18 very thin slices of prosciutto (about 6 ounces)
18 grissini (long thin breadsticks)

Preparation

  1. Make the fig spread:

    Step 1

    In a small saucepan simmer the figs in the Port and the water with the sugar, covered, for 20 minutes and simmer the mixture, uncovered, until the liquid is reduced to about 1 tablespoon. In a food processor (preferably small) purée the fig mixture with the mustard and the lemon juice and transfer the spread to a small bowl. The fig spread may be made 1 week in advance, kept covered and chilled, and allowed to return to room temperature.

    Step 2

    Working with 1 prosciutto slice at a time, spread one side of each slice with 1/2 teaspoon of the fig spread, fold the slice lengthwise into a thin strip, and wrap it in a spiral around 1 of the breadsticks. The breadsticks should be wrapped no more than 30 minutes in advance.
