FIGuring It Out

I recently enjoyed a wonderful lunch at Nessa in Port Chester, NY. It was the holiday season and the restaurant was one of the most festive (in a tasteful way) that I have seen. Nessa focuses on small plates, including bruschettas, tramzezzini and panini. We decided to do a little of everything. Our waiter recommended the fig with prosciutto and fresh ricotta. It was sooo yummy I wanted to share it with everyone. So Christmas Eve, I made my own rendition of it with Calabrian figs (which I caramalized) that I picked up at the Bedford Cheese Shop in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and fresh ricotta and prosciutto from Dante's Deli in White Plains. Definitely a crowd pleaser.
