This is another quick recipe. It is ideal when you want to eat something refreshing and delicious. And no cooking is needed. Another tip; keep the melon in the fridge for a couple of hours before cutting and serving.
Ingredients you need are:
- 1 melon
- 150 g prosciutto (dry-cured ham)
Yes, that’s it. Only two things to make you happy. I have seen that most of the times people use the Cantaloupe melon. I used the Santa Claus melon instead. It has an oval shape like a rugby ball. The outside is dark green with stripes and looks almost wrinkled. The inside goes from light green to white. The melon is sweet but not too sweet.
Let’s cut the melon now. Take a big knife and cut the melon in half. Cut it lengthwise. With a spoon scoop out the seeds. The flesh is really soft so you will not have problems with that. Then cut the half in half (still lengthwise) and continue to cut each quarter in 2 or 3 wedges. It depends how thick you want them.
Next step is removing the rind. What I do is; I place the wedge on the cutting board and slide the knife between the flesh and the rind until I reach the half. Then I turn the wedge around and I repeat the same. The wedge is now ready to be cut in pieces or you can just leave it as it is.
On a bigger plate place the prosciutto and the melon slices. Done!
Enjoy!
