Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the bacon

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut each slice of cherrywood bacon into thirds. Lay them on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until crispy. Remove and let cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the scallops

    Pat the scallops dry with paper towels. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Assemble the skewers

    On each skewer, thread one scallop, followed by a preserved fig, and then a piece of crispy bacon. Repeat until all ingredients are used.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Grill the skewers

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle the skewers with olive oil. Grill each skewer for about 2-3 minutes per side until the scallops are opaque and cooked through.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Remove the skewers from the grill and drizzle with fig vincotto before serving. Enjoy warm as an appetizer or light main dish.
