Time 30m

Yield 14 crostini

Number Of Ingredients 12

14 slices baguette (1/4 inch thick)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup honey
Three 2-inch strips lemon zest, removed with a peeler
1 cinnamon stick
7 dried figs, each cut into 6 pieces
1 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 ounces spicy Calabrian salami, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1/4 cup small fresh basil leaves, optional

Steps:

  • For the crostini: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Brush the slices of baguette with the olive oil and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Season with the salt and bake until golden brown and crispy, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove the crostini to a wire rack to cool.
  • For the topping: In a small saucepan, combine the honey, lemon zest, cinnamon and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Remove from the heat and stir in the figs. Allow the figs to steep for 5 minutes.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer the softened figs to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until smooth. Add the ricotta, salt and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Puree until light, fluffy and smooth.
  • Heat a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining tablespoon olive oil and the chopped salami. Cook, stirring often, until the salami is golden brown and crispy. Drain well on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • To assemble, spread some fig ricotta over each crostini. Top with a sprinkling of crispy salami and a few basil leaves if desired.

SALAMI DI FICHI (FIG SALAMI)

A great addition to an hors doeuvres table, or as a gift. Also perfect with a set of cheeses. This fig salami is absolutely delicious and easy to make too! Comes from the Marche area of Italy. If you have vino cotto use that instead of the prune juice but its hard to find.
