Fresh Figs with Smoked Cured Ham

1. 1

   Wash the figs well, then divide into eighths, cutting from the stem to within about 3/8-inch of the bottom, so that you can spread the wedges out like petals.

2. 2

   On each of 4 salad plates, arrange 5 to 6 slices of prosciutto spoke-fashion to resemble flower petals.

3. 3

   Drizzle lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with pepper.

4. 4

   Place a fig in the center of each; then spread the wedges out like opening flowers.

5. 5

   Let stand at room temperature 1 to 2 hours; then serve at the start of an elegant meal.
