Ingredients
- 1 watermelon
- 3 tomatos
- 1 tablespoon Sherry Vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- salt Maldon, for garnish
- pistachios chopped, for garnish
- micro-greens for garnish
- 2 ounces Feta cheese or goat cheese
- sea salt to taste
Instructions
- 1. Cut the ends off the watermelon. Slice off the white and green rind from each side to make a large rectangle or square. Cut the watermelon into four 2-inch-thick slices. Trim each slice into a 2-by-4-inch steak and set aside
- 2. Cut a small x in the bottom of each tomato and prepare a bowl filled with ice water. Bring a small saucepan filled with water to a boil over high heat. Carefully drop the tomatoes into the water for 20 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, drain and submerge the tomatoes into the ice water. Peel and seed the tomatoes. Cut the flesh into 1/2-inch dice. Toss the diced tomato with the vinegar and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and season with salt.
- 3. Place the steaks on plates. Top each with a bit of the tomato mixture, the pistachios and the micro greens. Sprinkle pinches of cheese over the plate, season with Maldon salt and drizzle with remaining olive oil.

- 4. In a skillet over medium heat, heat a tablespoon of olive oil. Add the watermelon steaks and cook for a few minutes on each side until caramelized around the edges.
