  • ½ cucumber(s)
  • 1 lime(s)
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 cm ginger root, fresh
  • Salt and pepper, white

  • 2 slices of ham (beef ham)
  • 2 flowers (nasturtium flowers)

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Rest time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour 30 minutes

All ingredients should be chilled from the refrigerator. This shortens the waiting time! And now let’s get started: Divide the honeydew melon. Scoop out a few balls to use as a soup garnish. Scoop out the remaining flesh. Squeeze the lime. Peel, deseed, and slice the cucumber. Finely dice the garlic and ginger. Blend all ingredients (except the ham and blossoms) in a bowl using a hand blender. Season to taste with salt and pepper, if desired. Pour the mixture into the melon halves and chill in the refrigerator for at least 0.5 hours. Before serving, sprinkle with finely chopped ham and garnish each with a blossom.
