Fig, serrano ham, manchego and membrillo skewers

Makes 40 Starters and mains

Ingredients

  • 20 thin slices of serrano ham
  • 200g manchego
  • 10 very ripe figs, quartered
  • 40x1cm cubes of membrillo (optional)

Method

Spread the slices of ham on a work surface and halve lengthways with scissors or a sharp knife.

Shave the cheese with a vegetable peeler to make 40 thin shavings. Position each shaving of cheese in the centre of a strip of ham, put a fig quarter on top and carefully wrap the ham round, securing the join by spearing each assembly with a wooden or bamboo skewer.

Finish each skewer with a cube of membrillo, grind black pepper over and serve chilled or at room temperature.
