Prosciutto and Cantaloupe
Here's a pic of an appetizer I'd like to replicate. Can you tell me how to slice the prosciutto and cantaloupe and plate it? Thanks
Best Answer
Normally, your deli/charcuterie store will slice the prosciutto for you, either manually or with a meat slicer (more often).
The melon, is thinly sliced manually, just pick a ripe melon, halve it and slice it up and remove the rind.
Depending on the thickness of the slices, you will be able to make fancy folds like in the picture, or maybe not, then you will just have nice slices.
Melon and Prosciutto is a simple dish where ingredients is more important than presentation.
i personally, just slice the melon in wedges and drape the ham over it, or roll the ham around pieces of melon.

Fruit is a classic Italian pairing for prosciutto; the sweet flavor enhances the savory product. For a classic treat, wrap prosciutto around freshly-sliced cantaloupe, then top with a fresh basil leaf for a beautiful presentation!
