1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
¼ cup Finely chopped stemmed dried Black
; Mission figs
2 tablespoons Port
¼ cup Water
1½ teaspoon Sugar
½ teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
¼ teaspoon Fresh lemon juice; or to taste
18 Thin slices prosciutto; (about 6 ounces)
18 Grissini; (long thin
; breadsticks)

Directions

FOR THE FIG SPREAD

Make the fig spread:

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) puree 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.

Working with 1 prosciutto slice at a time, spread one side of each slice with ½ 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.

Makes 18 hors d'oeuvres.
