You’ll see me using a lot of zucchinis, tomatoes, basil in my recent dishes because my garden is exploding with these fresh produce. 馃檪

Mel贸n con Jam贸n

A friend of mine suggested that I eat jamon with melon. Apparently it’s a very popular dish in Spain.

This simple tapa seems very easy to make. So, I bought a ripe melon, and chilled it in the fridge for a few hours.

First, I had to prepare the melon.

– Cut the melon
– Remove the seeds
– Cut away the rind
– Cut the melon into cubes

Then, I simply arranged the jamon slices on top of the melon cubes. Viola!

If you don’t have jamon, you can wrap proscuitto slice around a slice of melon.

Melon was sweet and juicy and it made great contrast with salty jamon. It was a refreshing dish, although not my favorite combination of food.

I still prefer enjoy my jamon with bread, olives and cheeses. 馃檪

I love trying new food though. I might discover a new favorite on my next try. 馃檪
