Parma Ham and Melon Balls

Here’s a nice tapa dish that’s very quick and easy to prepare. There’s no cooking involved either, good for the no-cook recipe fans. I love cooking!

Ingredients

• a melon
• a packet of Parma ham
• skewers

(I was lucky enough to have both a sweet orange honeydew and the even sweeter green-coloured Japanese melon. The contrast in colour was nice but not essential.)

Method

Use a melon baller to make melon balls. (If you don’t have a melon baller then just make melon cubes. It tastes so nice no one will care what shape the melon pieces are.)

Thread the melon pieces and Parma ham onto a skewer.

That’s it! Now, how long did that take?

Here’s a book where you can find more ideas of things to do with salami, Parma ham and other charcuterie products:
