cantaloupe and prosciutto

Easy Recipe: Cantaloupe and Prosciutto

Another easy recipe: this dish is very popular as a summer appetizer, and just like with Cheese and Pears, is one of the few recipes where the name totally matches with the ingredients and the final result is as good as its ingredients. This usually works as appetizer, but it cam be a filling main course if you don’t feel particularly hungry.

The ham that you see is not Italian Prosciutto di Parma, but some excellent German smoked ham bought at Lidl. The magic here is all in the combination of the sweet and the salted, so the aim is to lay the slices of ham and cantaloupe in a way that you can cut a piece of both and bring them together to your mouth. The trick is to make sure you’ll cut the ham following the meat fibers, not perpendicularly, as it won’t cut easily.

I found this out after taking the picture.
