The melon is marinated, then served with crispy prosciutto slices, which contrast with the soft fruit. A delightful salad dish, hearty enough to serve as a main course! Ingredients:
1 medium cantaloupe, peeled, seeded and cut into sticks |
1/2 large english cucumber, peeled, seeded and cut into sticks |
3 tbsp port wine |
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil |
11/2 tsp very finely grated fresh ginger |
salt |
8 slices prosciutto |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F
2. Place the melon and cucumber sticks in a bowl and add the port, olive oil, ginger and salt.
3. Toss to mix and leave to marinate for 1 hour.
4. Meanwhile, cook prosciutto slices in oven for 10 minutes, turning once until crisp. Let cool.
5. Toss the melon and cucumber just before serving and, using a slotted spoon, divide the mixture between 4 plates.
6. Top with 2 slices of crispy prosciutto.
