ITALY
Special Equipment: 12 small bamboo skewers or wooden toothpicks, soaked for 1 hour in cold water to cover and drained

Here’s an Italian twist on the preceding recipe, using fresh figs and pancetta. The former were once deemed fairly exotic, but you can now find them in most supermarkets (and certainly in Italian markets), especially in late spring and summer. Pancetta is often described as cured Italian bacon. Unlike our bacon, though, it’s never smoked. Pancetta can be found in Italian markets, gourmet shops, and an increasing number of supermarkets.


   _ slice pancetta, , sliced thin
   __ figs, ripe and stemmed
   __ sage leaves, fresh


1. Preheat the grill to high.

2. Cut each strip of pancetta in half; each piece should be just large enough to wrap up a fig. Wrap each fig, topped with a sage leaf, in pancetta, and secure with a small bamboo skewer or toothpick by running the skewer or toothpick through the center of the fig and out the other side.

3. When ready to cook, arrange the figs on the hot grate and grill, turning once with tongs, until heated through and the pancetta is crisp, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter and remove the skewers or toothpicks before serving, or at least warn everyone of their presence.

Makes 12 pieces; serves 4 to 6 as an appetizer

Note: You could also use dried figs for this recipe. Soak them in a bowl of boiled water (or, better yet, hot Marsala wine or port) for 30 minutes, or until soft, then drain and proceed with the recipe.
