Melon and Ginger - Sushi Style & Prosciutto Style (****tail Party Recipes)
Prep Time: 30 minutes or less | Cook Time: 30 minutes or less | Serves: 8 Appetizers » Fruit » American Ingredients: I came up with the idea for this dish in an Italian deli. It's a play on the classic prosciutto and melon appetizer, replacing wonderful, juicy Italian meat with wonderful, juicy pickled ginger. Since both melon and ginger love salt (and heck, who doesn't), I top everything off with a pinch of sel gris for flavor and a bit of added crunch. This is not an appetizer for everyone. It requires pretty high-quality melon to play equal partner to the pickled ginger, and the result is an extremely powerful flavor combination. That said, I'm not a big fan of pickled ginger and I still loved the heck out of this combination. Ingredients: - Assorted melons. In this case, one each yellow watermelon, honeydew, and "heirloom tuscan" - Pickled ginger, a.k.a. sushi ginger - sel gris Similar Threads:
