Italian prosciutto and cantaloupe appetizer is an easy and
delightful beginning to any meal. The delicate salty flavor of
prosciutto balances the sweet and juicy cantaloupe to create a
taste pleasing appetizer.
This traditional Italian antipasto often appears on the menu in
fine Italian restaurants. Italian prosciutto and cantaloupe can
even be found in cafes around Rome and other hot spots in Italy.
Try serving Italian prosciutto and cantaloupe attractively
arranged the next time you have a dinner party and then sit back
and relax. You will be delightfully surprised at all the
compliments that will follow your presentation.
Ripe cantaloupe
Prosciutto sliced very thin
Black pepper
Chill the melon, cut it into halves and remove the seeds. Slice
the melon into ¾ inch wide slices. Run your
knife along the
bottom of the flesh close to the rind, being careful not to
remove the rind. Leave a small amount of the rind at the end of
the slice attached to the flesh. This will allow for an
appealing presentation.
Drape 2 wide, very thin slices of prosciutto at an angle over
each slice of melon. Allow some of the melon to show through the
prosciutto. Grind a small amount of black pepper over top and
serve chilled.
