Grilled watermelon
Super easy to do, delicious either as a sweet or savoury dish. Love it with crispy roast pork with crackling or a pan-grilled heritage pork chop.

Ingredients
watermelon
salt
extra virgin olive oil
Method
Top and tail the watermelon. Cut into quarters lengthways and slice into 2.5 – 3cm (1 – 1 1/4 inch) pieces. Sprinkle lightly with salt on both sides (careful not too much). Lay in a single layer on a wire rack over a platter for 15-20 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
Preheat a pan-grill or barbeque on a high heat.
Dab dry the watermelon with a cloth or kitchen paper.
Drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil and grill until nicely charred on both sides, 5-6 minutes.
Transfer to a serving platter, serve sprinkled with either crumbled feta and shredded mint or freshly squeezed lime juice, drizzle with new season’s honey and sprinkle with a chiffonade of fresh mint.
