Cantaloupe With Homemade Prosciutto Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• On a baking sheet toast pine nuts until golden, about 5 minutes, and cool. In a blender purée basil with oil until basil is minced. Pour purée through a very fine sieve into a bowl, pressing hard on solids, and discard solids.
• Halve and seed cantaloupe. Cut melon into 1/4-inch-thick wedges and discard rind.
• Spoon basil oil onto 4 plates. Arrange melon decoratively over oil and top with prosciutto. Sprinkle melon and prosciutto with pine nuts and cheese.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the shrimp and simmer until cooked through, about 2 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water; pat dry and transfer to a large bowl. Add the melon, 4 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons vinegar, the honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; gently stir. Let marinate 15 minutes.
• Wrap 1 melon slice and 1 shrimp in a piece of prosciutto; secure with a toothpick. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Transfer the remaining marinade to a blender. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon vinegar and the herbs; puree. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the prosciutto-shrimp bundles with the dressing.

Steps:

• Combine the rosemary, salt, pepper and olive oil and rub the mixture all over the pork loin. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate overnight.
• Start a charcoal grill. When coals are very hot, place the pork on the grill and cook until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove the pork from the grill and let the coals burn down for 10 minutes. Return the pork to the grill, cover and let cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 150 to 160 degrees, about 3 hours. If the pork is not done and the fire is out, finish cooking in the oven at 325 degrees. Let cool. Refrigerate until cold.
• Trim the ends off of the pork and slice the roast as thin as possible. To serve, arrange the cantaloupe slices on plates or a large platter and drape 1 slice of pork over each piece of melon.

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine vinegar, shallot, garlic, mustard, salt, and pepper and whisk to combine. While continuously whisking, add the oil in a slow, steady stream until completely incorporated. Whisk in the herbs, and set aside while you prepare the salad.
• In a large bowl, combine the arugula and red onion. Drizzle in 1/4 cup of the vinaigrette and toss to combine. Add more vinaigrette to taste, if desired, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Toss gently to combine.
• Arrange the cantaloupe wedges on a large serving plate, top with the arugula salad and the prosciutto. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat grill to high.
• Cut cantaloupe into 16 slices. Season with pepper and basil.
• Wrap each with a slice of prosciutto.
• Grill each of the 3 sides for 1-2 minutes.
