Now onto the recipe ...
Take two delicate flavours - sweet and juicy melon with smoky slices of Parma ham, pair them together, and what do you get? A lovely starter dish for a dinner party, but can also be enjoyed as a light lunch (yes please), and is such a refreshing combination of tastes.
Ingredients
Serves Four
1 honeydew melon
2 x 88g (2oz) packs of Parma ham, torn
50g (2oz) wild rocket*
pinch ground black pepper
4 tsp oil
Method
1. Cut the melon into thick slices and remove the skin and any pips. Then chop into large chunks.
2. Divide the melon between 4 plates then add the Parma ham.
3. Scatter with a little rocket, season with black pepper and drizzle with the oil.
Per Serving
Carbohydrate 13.2g Protein 13.5g Fibre 1.9g Fat 11g
From original idea here
The greenery is provided by using wild rocket* which is sometimes known as Arugula. Now we all know that salad greens are healthy, and that most are very low in calories. However, did you know that not all give you a good dose of nutrients... well Arugula/ Rocket is one leafy green vegetable that stands out as a rich source of many vitamins and minerals.
Consider the difference between iceberg lettuce and arugula/rocket:
Arugula contains about eight times the calcium,
fives times the vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin K,
four times the iron as the same amount of iceberg lettuce.
The choice is easy... start with arugula/rocket for a healthier salad!

ReplyDeleteEl mel贸n con jam贸n es una combinaci贸n deliciosa que muchas veces como.
ReplyDeleteVoy a probarlo con esa pizca de pimienta que nunca le ech茅. pero dicho con todos mis respetos lo que no voy a cambiar nunca es el jam贸n que tenemos aqu铆, porque un jam贸n ib茅rico de Jabugo, es lo mejor del mundo. jeje.
Un abrazo, y cuidaros que este a帽o viene la calor muy fuerte.

Melon with ham is a delicious combination that I often eat.
I'm going to try it with that pinch of pepper that I never threw in it. but said with all my respect, what I am never going to change is the ham we have here, because an Iberian ham from Jabugo is the best in the world. hehe.
A hug, and take care because this year the heat is coming very strong.
Looks tasty. Every day I have some regular comments that have ended in span.
ReplyDeleteAt least it's easy to check.
Una buena receta para los d铆as de calor. Besos.
