A nice summertime recipe that calls for only raw ingredients and no cooking time. Lovely blend of flavors with no one flavor
dominating. Used the Blender to puree. Done rapidly with no heat and would be very good for leftover watermelon. Cooking here
is chill time.
Ingredients:
3 cups watermelon, seed and puree
1 cup seeded watermelon, diced small
1 cup seeded tomatoes, diced small
1 cup cucumbers, peeled, seeded, diced small
1/2 cup red bell peppers or green bell peppers, diced small
2 tablespoons lime juice
fresh parsley leaves, see directions note
4 drops Angostura bitters
1 teaspoon minced ginger
1/2 small jalapeno, seeded and minced
1 green onion, white
1 inch green onions, minced
1 teaspoon sea salt
fresh ground black pepper
Procedure:
1. Seed and puree the watermelon.
2. Then combine the watermelon puree with the diced watermelon, tomato, cucumber, bell pepper, lime juice, parsley,
ginger, jalapeno, green onion, bitters and salt. Note the authors recommend you use a large bowl but you see that empty watermelon
shell over there? Hey it makes a great serving container and you don't have to wash it.
3. Stir to combine.
4. Season with pepper and salt to taste. Use any other desired seasonings to taste.
5. Serve with chilled serving bowls or chill for approx four hours then serve or using a large bowl, place in chilled
serving bowls and serve immediately.
6. Note: Parsley leaves should be one small handful. the bitters are NOT optional.
7. Original was from the Philadelphia Inq. 7/13/05.
