Ingredients
1 ¼ pounds seedless watermelon
2/1 pound thinly sliced Serrano ham
5 oz Manchego cheese
Freshly ground pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil
Preparation
Cut the melon flesh away from the rind & discard rind. Cut flesh into 1-inch cubes. Cut ham into thin strips (1/2 inch wide). Trim the rind off the cheese and discard. Cut cheese into thin squares to fit the top of the watermelon cubes.
To assemble, place a piece of cheese on top of a watermelon cube, and then carefully top with 1 or 2 folded strips of ham. Secure each with a cocktail pick.
To serve, arrange the skewers on a plate grind pepper generously over the top and drizzle a drop or two of oil over each piece. Serve right away.
