  • Yield Serves 8

Ingredients

    • 8 fresh Black Mission figs, halved lengthwise
    • 16 large fresh basil leaves
    • Fig balsamic vinegar, or aged balsamic vinegar, for drizzling

Directions

  1. Place each fig half on an upturned basil leaf, cupping leaf around fig. Drizzle each fig with a few drops of vinegar, and serve immediately.

Cook's Note
