Ingredients

6 total
  • 1 sun sweet melon (or use cantaloupe), deseeded and cut into approx. 16 bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp sherry vinegar
  • 1½ tbsp caster sugar
  • 1 good pinch sea salt
  • 16 slices salchichón (approx.)
  • 16 basil leaves (approx.)

Method

2 steps

  1. Step 1

    Put the melon pieces in a bowl with the sherry vinegar, sugar and salt; toss well. Marinate for 30 mins, stirring 2-3 times to ensure the melon is evenly coated. Drain well.

  2. Step 2

    To assemble the canapés, thread a folded slice of salchichón, a basil leaf and a piece of melon onto a cocktail stick. These are best eaten soon after assembly, though the marinated and drained melon will keep chilled in an airtight container for up to 12 hrs.
