I came across this highly unusual, yet delicious recipe in a book simply called ''Middle Eastern Cookery'' (I don't remember the author though). These cubes make a lovely starter just for 2, but obviously you can increase the recipe to serve more....these are a big hit at dinner parties. I do find that 5 cubes per person is a bit much - 2-3 is much better for us, 10 cubes on a tray of appetizers would be fine for 5 guests for example. Ingredients:
10 (2 inch) cubes seedless watermelon |
1/2 cup red onion, finely minced |
5 moroccan oil-cured olives, pitted & minced |
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil |
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese |
10 small mint leaves |
Directions:
1. Dig a small hole in each watermelon cube about 3/4 of the way down into the flesh. A melon baller will work well for this. Basically you want to create a cavity to fill.
2. Mix together the onions, olives & oil. Place a small amount in each watermelon cube, filling them about halfway.
3. Fill the cavities the rest of the way up with the crumbled feta & top each one with a mint leaf.
4. Serve as a finger food.
