Ingredients
- 800 grams cantaloupe (rockmelon cantaloupe peeled and deseeded)
- 80 grams prosciutto ham (8 thin slices)
- Balsamic glaze (one tablespoon, see note at end of recipe)
- 2 teaspoons oil (extra virgin olive oil)
- Ground black pepper (fresh)
How to Make
-
Step 1: Using a slicer, mandolin or vegetable peeler, slice the peeled rockmelon/cantaloupe into long ribbons and cut each slice of prosciutto into 3 long strips.
-
Step 2: Roll up the strips of rockmelon and arrange on plates and then roll up the strips of prosciutto and place on the rockmelon.
-
Step 3: Drizzle the balsamic glaze and oil on the plates around the melon and sprinkle with pepper to serve.
-
Step 4: BALSAMIC GLAZE (reduced balsamic vinegar), if you cannot buy you can make it by putting 80ml (1/3 cup) balsamic vinegar in a small non-stick frypan and bring to a simmer over high heat and then reduce heat to medium-high and simmer for 3-5 minutes or until vinegar reduces and thickens and this will make 1 tablespoon of glaze and if it is too thick, just add a little more vinegar.
