We took this preserve with us to Hangar 7 and served it with foie gras. This combination, with Pepe’s goat’s milk cheese, is just as good.

Method

Slice the cheese and either grill in a dry nonstick pan or over medium-heat coals. Serve immediately. Use 40 g per serving.

Peel the watermelon and discard the green outer skin. Remove the pink flesh so that only the white part of the rind remains. Soak the rind in the water and slaked lime
