I think I may have picked up some of the last figs of the season this week. They were plump, juicy and just the right conditions to make something special with them.
Armed with some gorgeous mild Gorgonzola and some of the finest prosciutto available in this city (from Pino’s fine foods) the figs were turned into a dish from heaven.
INGREDIENTS
Plump ripe figs
1 tsp Gorgonzola or favourite blue per fig
1 tsp cream per fig
1 slice prosciutto per fig
METHOD
1. Cut fig stopping half way and wrap the fig with prosciutto
2. Place knob of cheese into the cut and top with the cream
3. Bake in preheated 200C oven for 10 minutes

About Soul Kitchen Blog
Welcome to Soul Kitchen Blog. Sure food ultimately is fuel for the body but made with love is so much more and truly nourishes the soul. As cliche as it sounds, life really is too short to eat bad food and drink bad wine. I have a passion for cooking and a love of good food. I am commtted to my quest of searching for fabulous recipes that just so happen to be gluten free. In recent years I discovered that I have intolerance to gluten and whilst its changed my eating habits somewhat, I refuse to allow it to limit my choices to eat well or make those that I cook for feel that they are missing out on anything.
My mandate is simple... Feed the body and nourish the soul. I look forward to sharing my journey with you ........
Those figs look so good. How wonderful it would be to have a tree of your own!
Yes we are very lucky, although our tree doesn’t grow big ones like these, they are still amazing!
What a fantastic idea! We are lucky enough to have a fig tree in the garden. Sadly it is in “hibernation” at the moment but I will definitely remember this this for the beginning of next year! Scrumptious.

Thanks Mandy. Although if you are anything like me, I hardly make it into the house with the figs when I harvest, I love eating them straight from the tree. But if you can manage restraint, then this recipe is a brilliant combo of flavours.
And here I thought I was the only one who stood in the shade of the tree, gobbling up fig after fig after fig…
Oh too funny ! Aren’t we lucky.
