Ask A Chef: Stuffed Figs With Serrano Ham & Mahón
Chef Alonzo Ortiz of Pintxo shares a recipe for Stuffed Figs with Serrano Ham & Mahón.
Q: I recently dined at Pintxo in Montreal, and the stuffed figs were out-of-this-world delicious! Could I get the recipe? I’d love to serve it to friends when entertaining. — Genevieve, Montreal
A: The recipe is dead simple, and chef Alonzo Ortiz was more than happy to share it. Since not everyone has access to Spanish ingredients, he says prosciutto can stand in for Serrano, and mild Gouda is a good substitute for Mahón.
