Prosciutto with Fresh Fruit
Serves 8
This classic combination of salty prosciutto with sweet cool melon is a refreshing way to start any meal. I like to use different kinds of fruits depending on what is the freshest available offering. Using a selection of different colored and textured melons is also very beautiful.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 medium-size ripe melon, peeled and cut into 8 wedges, 8 figs, or 8 halved peaches
- 2 limes or lemons, 1 cut in half, 1 cut in 8 wedges for garnish
- Freshly ground black pepper (optional)
- 1 pound prosciutto, best quality, thinly sliced
DIRECTIONS
- Cut the fruit into the desired size. Squeeze the halved citrus over all the fruit. Crack freshly ground pepper over it, if desired. Place a piece on each plate and lay the prosciutto over each piece of fruit, cutting to size if necessary. Serve a wedge of citrus on the side.
