favourite summer discoveries?
« on: August 22, 2015, 04:33:11 PM »
I mentioned elsewhere that I learned this summer I don't actually hate cantaloupe... I just hate under-ripe cantaloupe.  Properly musky, heavy and juicy, it turns out I am a BIG fan.

But the best discovery of the summer, related to my cantaloupe epiphany, was this simple salad:  ripe cantaloupe cut into bit-sized chunks, sprinkled with equal parts ground cardamom and ground cayenne and a pinch of finishing salt

I've always sprinkled a little salt on melon. Learned that from my grandmother.  Sharpens the sweetness, if that makes any sense.

Ceviche is perfect, isn't it?  So simple and such a great showcase for food's natural beauty.
