Pepo's Proscuitto Melone with Bocconcini

November 02, 2023

Minimal ingredients, maximum flavour! This dish epitomizes Summer and can be whipped together in just 10mins. Sweet, salty, refreshing and complimented by the rich, toasted flavour of Pumpkin seed oil. Pepo's take on an Italian classic

You'll need:

1 Rock melon scooped out in balls or cut into small pieces
200g small bocconcini balls or mozzarella torn into smaller pieces
30g of prosciutto torn into bite sized pieces
1TBSP pumpkin seed oil
A drizzle of really good balsamic glaze (we like Rich Glen's blood orange balsamic glaze)
small handful of basil or mint for garnish

Method:

Layer the rock melon, prosciutto and bocconcini in a large shallow serving dish and garnish with the basil/mint before drizzling in pumpkin seed oil & balsamic glaze. Serve immediately
Alternatively you could portion these into small serving bowls/glasses for individual portions and guests can drizzle their own oil and glaze at the table

Enjoy with a crisp high country Pinot Griggio or Prosecco... Salute!
