Tips

No special items needed.

I had a really hard time finding any black figs - finally found these small dried ones. They worked! Wonderful appetizer - this will be done over & over again. Don't be stingy with the gorganola. Next time I will get the prosciutto cut 2 notches thicker, I had it very very thin and I think it needs a bit more salty ham flavour than I allowed. In any case this is a 5 star appetizer plus! 9 Apr 17 Even with the dried figs these are so delicious. It is almost never that I can get fresh figs so these will do. I used ground almond dust instead of hazelnut.I have mdae this recipe before and it will be made again.11 Nov 2018 Made again this time with golden preserved figs
