PROSCUITTO E MELONE
Description
Sweet & salty just works, each intensifying the flavour of the other.
Here, the ripe sweetness of the melon is deepened not only by the soft salty melt in your mouth prosciutto but also the sharpness of the rocket. All brought together with a little rapeseed oil and black pepper.
This is such a classic summer starter. Enjoy it as an easy starter when entertaining friends. It looks stunning when presented well, takes minutes to prepare, especially if you have prepared the melon ahead and stored in the fridge.
But it can make a great lunch too - just increase the portion. Why share it when you can have it all to yourself?!🧡💚
serves 4 as a starter or two for lunch
