Ham Nems with Melon and Figs

Preparation

At Don Melón, we always strive to surprise our discerning chefs. For that reason, let's step out of the Mediterranean culture and discover the so-called "nems." A Vietnamese specialty reminiscent of Chinese spring rolls that are typically wrapped in rice paper. But with the aim of taking risks and hitting the mark, we'll give it a 360-degree twist. Today, we bring you: Serrano ham and mascarpone nems with melon and figs.

If you prefer milder flavors, you can substitute mascarpone with cream cheese, although the richer taste of this Italian cheese pairs perfectly with the melon and figs macerated in Port wine. Let's turn the risk into a reality—here's the recipe!

Start by cutting the figs into small pieces and placing them in a bowl with the Port wine. Let the mixture macerate for a minimum of 15 minutes. Once the time has passed, drain them on a kitchen paper before using them in the recipe.

While cutting the melon into cubes, mix it in a bowl with mascarpone cheese, fig cubes, salt, and pepper. Mix well with a fork until you achieve a smooth blend.

Next, lay a piece of plastic wrap on the countertop and spread a slice of Serrano ham. Add a quarter of the filling and delicately roll it with the help of the plastic wrap. Once you've created a cylinder, wrap it like candy and let it rest in the refrigerator for two hours. Repeat this process with the remaining three slices of ham and the rest of the filling.

Tasting

Serrano ham and mascarpone nems with melon and figs are a refreshing appetizer, perfect as a starter for your summer dinners. You can accompany them with some grissini as a bread substitute and a nice cold beer.
