Ingredients
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds, coarsely crushed
6 green figs, halved lengthwise
6 thin slices pancetta, halved
Preparation
Preheat broiler. Sprinkle fennel seeds onto cut sides of each fig. Wrap figs with pancetta, overlapping ends.
Place figs, cut sides down, on a baking sheet. Broil until sizzling and pancetta is lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Flip, and broil 2 minutes more. Serve warm.
