The inspiration from this came from the TV-series Hannibal. Yup, that series. About the cannibal. There's some lovely cooking and plating displayed through both series so far, I hope this continues in season three as well.
This specific dish was mentioned in episode six of series two - Futamono - where it is served during a dinner party. I actually served this when a couple of friends were over for dinner so I guess that counts as a smaller dinner party. One guest was a bit doubtful as to if she should turn up or not when I mentioned on Twitter that one of the courses would be influenced by Hannibal.
A final note about the TV-series, I found that if you combine watching a couple of episodes back to back whilst having a very high fever it gives you some awesome dreams later that night. ;)
As you can see from the picture I need more practice in the art of making the prosciutto look like roses but that's something I'm happy to do. As long as I get to eat the end product.
Ingredients
Good quality prosciutto, pork based unless you are Hannibal
Watermelon, cut into squares
Method
Take a slice of prosciutto and twist it into a long strand. Tightly wrap it into a rosette, trying to make it look like a rose.
Position the 'rose' on a piece of watermelon and secure it with a cut to size cocktail stick or similar.
Repeat until all prosciutto is used up.
Enjoy!
I do believe that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What does it really means to us? It only explains that true beauty is not in our physical aspects but in our inner aspects. In short, attitude or character because what you have shown is what people think of you. Beauty comes out naturally. Visit my site #triciajoy for some terrific offer that I am sure you can't refuse.
