Fresh fig with prosciutto and mozzarella: When it’s the season for figs, they seem to be hanging off of every tree. Even the birds can’t keep up with eating them so there are always a lot left over for you.
This little fresh fig, prosciutto and mozzarella antipasto was invented as a result of an over-abundance of figs in our Gaeta garden, Italy. It was a success and thankfully, very simple to put together.
