Summertime is the perfect season for minimal prep, fresh dishes. This fig and mozzarella bowl is no exception. I recommend buying all local ingredients for this one, since you’ll taste the raw ingredients. The fresher the better. Get your prosciutto sliced thin. Your mozzarella with water at the bottom, and freshly picked basil. Figs are perfect this time of year, so grab a bunch. They’re so versatile for multiple dishes, such as desserts, appetizers, and main courses. You can sear them, pair them with ice cream, or eat them raw like in this dish.
