Black Magic Figs

Yield: 15 Figs

Ingredients

• 15 Black Mission figs
• 2 cups port wine (500ml)
• Fresh pepper to taste
• 7-8 sheets of thinly sliced Italian Prosciutto

Directions

1. Use a sharp small knife to score the bottom of the figs making a large X shape.
2. Pour the port in a large bowl and stir in the pepper to taste. Add the figs to the mixture and let marinate for 1 hour. When ready, carefully strain the figs.
3. Place excess port in a saucepan set over medium low heat. Simmer sauce for 20 minutes or until slightly thickened.
4. Cut Prosciutto in half lengthwise.
5. Wrap the Proscuitto around the figs. If necessary, secure with a toothpick. Place figs on an oiled tray.
6. Preheat barbeque to medium high heat 375F (190C).
7. Rub or spray grill with oil grill to prevent sticking.
8. Place the figs on the grill and cook for about 2-4 minutes or until the Proscuitto is golden brown and slightly crispy turning frequently to prevent burning.
9. Remove figs from the grill. Serve figs hot and drizzle with reduced sauce.
