Drunken Figs with Prosciutto & Chocolate
By Francine Segan


Serves 8

18 dried figs
1 cup Asti Spumante docg
4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
4 ounces Italian dark chocolate, such as Perugina, Vanini or Venchi
Smoked coarse sea salt, optional

Bring the figs and wine to a simmer in a small saucepan, over low heat until the figs are soft, about 5 minutes. Allow to cool.

Cut a tiny opening into the bottom of the figs and fill with prosciutto.

Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave.

Drizzle the figs into the chocolate and lightly sprinkle with salt, if using.
