Ingredients

  • 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon of allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon of red chili flakes
  • 3.5 oz prosciutto crudo 100 gr
  • 2 tablespoons of rum
  • 1 shallot
  • 2-3 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons brown cane sugar or coconut sugar

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice the shallot. Grind the spices.
  2. Heat a large skillet and brown the prosciutto slices, on one layer, for less than a minute per side, medium heat.

  3. Remove the prosciutto and add the spices, toast them for a few minutes.

  4. Add a tablespoon of olive oil and the shallot. Brown for a minute. Add the rum and sugar and caramelize. It should take less than a minute.

  5. Place everything in a blender, add 2 teaspoons (or a bit more) of olive oil and blend. You don’t need it creamy: prosciutto flakes now and then give a pleasant texture.

  6. Slice or dice the melon and serve it with the prosciutto jam.
