4 ripe fresh figs 8 wafer thin slices Parma ham For the dressing: 1/4pt/150ml soured cream 1 Tbs. fresh chives, snipped salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
1) Wipe figs and cut a slit in the top of each one, without cutting right through. Gently squash each fig between thumb and index finger to open them up slightly.
2) Wrap two slices of ham around each fig, arranging it so that the edges curl over like the petals of a rose.
3) For the dressing, mix soured cream with chives and seasoning. Spoon mixture into a small pot and serve separately.
