METHOD

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Cut the tops off each fig, and create an opening by cutting a cross at the top without cutting all the way through. Wrap each fig with a strip of prosciutto.
  2. In a pan, crisp up the prosciutto before wrapping into the puff pastry circles. Place into a muffin tray brush with milk, sprinkle sesame seeds and bake for 15 minutes until golden.
  3. While the pastry bakes, in a sauce pan, heat together the preserving liquid and chilli flakes.
  4. Place the baked pastry pockets onto the micro herbs & dress with the sauce.
