Ham canapes with melon butter(Crostini di prosciutto al burro di melone)
|
- 50 grams of butter
- 50 grams of melon pulp (the winter melon) - sweet and ripe
- 3 spoons of dry Marsala
- 1 spoon of lemon juice
- 1 tea spoon of curry
- a pinch of salt
- 1 tea spoon of sugar
- 50 grams of Tuscan ham cut into very thin slices
- some slices of stale Tuscan bread
|
Put the butter in a glass bowl and place it in a warm environment,
but not on the heat, in order to soften the butter. When it will be softened,
beat it very well with a small whisk until it will become neat and "foaming".
Then take the blender and put inside melon, dry Marsala, lemon, curry, salt
and sugar and mix them all together in order to have a quite thick purée.
Take the bowl with the softened butter and beat it once again with the whisk
adding one spoon or two spoons each time of melon purée until you
will reach a perfect mixture. Put this stuff in the refrigerator for 2/3
hours in order to thicken it: turn and beat it each 30 minutes. Then cut
some very thin slices of Tuscany bread, grill them very lightly, in order
to have a superficial toasting, spread the melon butter and position, over
this stuff, a slice of Tuscany bread. The quantity for each person is about
4 canapés. |
