Ouzo Marinated Melon With Prosciutto Recipes

Steps:

• Peel and slice the gala melon into 1/2-inch semi-circle slices. Wrap a slice of prosciutto around each wedge and arrange on a platter.

Steps:

• Remove the flesh from the rind of the cantaloupe; wrap each piece of cantaloupe with a slice of the ham. Serve cold.

Steps:

• Fill melon cavity with ouzo and sprinkle with aniseed. Cover and chill 1 day.
• Pour juices from melon into small bowl and reserve. Cut melon into 4 wedges. Transfer to plates and drizzle with reserved juices. Drape prosciutto over melon. Season with pepper. Garnish with mint sprigs and serve.

Steps:

• Scoop out seeds from each melon half. Cut each half into 6 wedges. Remove melon skins. Wrap 1 or 2 slices of prosciutto around each wedge. Secure prosciutto with 4 toothpicks. Cut each wedge into 4 bite-sized pieces. Cover and refrigerate.
• Serve chilled.
• (Can be made 2 to 3 hours ahead of time and chilled. Make sure melon wedges are well wrapped so that they do not dry out.)

Steps:

• In a small bowl stir together the vinegar, the minced mint, and the sugar, let the mixture stand for 30 minutes, and force it through a fine sieve set over a bowl, pressing hard on the solids. Arrange 3 wedges of the melon on each of 4 chilled plates and drizzle each serving with some of the vinegar mixture. Drape each serving of melon with a slice of the prosciutto and garnish the plates with the mint sprigs.

Steps:

• Stand the melon on one cut end and slice off the remaining rind.
• Cut the melon in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
• Halve each melon half, so that you have four long wedges. Slice the wedges crosswise about 1/4" thick. Gently toss the melon in a bowl with the lime juice, red pepper flakes, salt and half of the mint.
• Arrange on a platter, drape the prosciutto on top, and drizzle with the olive oil.
• Sprinkle with the remaining mint and serve immediately.
