4 Figs
1 Lemon (juiced)
Handful Fresh Basil (roughly chopped)
12 Slices Parma Ham (treat yourself to the freshly cut ham from the charcuterie/delicatessen counter rather than the pre packed stuff, it'll taste so much better)
Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to Season
Equipment
1 SHARP Knife
1 Chopping Board
1 Mixing Bowl
1 Wooden Spoon
The Good Bit
- Start by removing the stems from the figs then cutting them into quarters, drop them in the bowl along with 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice and 4 tablespoons of the oil and the basil, then season with salt and pepper and mix well.
- Arrange 3 Slices of ham on each plate then spoon the fig mixture over and enjoy.
