10 minutes
Prosciutto with figs is a refined combination of sweet and salty that embodies the spirit of Italian gastronomy. This recipe is rooted in Mediterranean culinary traditions where simplicity, freshness, and natural flavors are valued. Ripe figs, with their honey-like sweetness and tender texture, pair beautifully with thin slices of prosciutto that add a light saltiness and rich aroma to the dish. Basil leaves add a refreshing herbal note, making the flavor even more expressive. It’s the perfect appetizer for festive tables and light summer dinners, as well as a great way to enjoy the wonderful harmony of flavors that makes Italian cuisine so unique.
