I’ve recently been so obsessed with figs. Two weekends ago, I went to an Italian restaurant in the North End and had these amazing broiled figs that were stuffed with goat cheese. They were presented on a bed of prosciutto and drizzled with balsamic glaze. I couldn’t get them out of my mind so I decided to make my own version. I had to make do because I didn’t have prosciutto or balsamic glaze, but they still satisfied my craving. I served them with fresh raspberries and orange slices and a bowl of olives garnished with a drizzle of olive oil and flaky sea salt.
