Sauteed Cantaloupe With Fleur De Sel Recipes

CANTALOUPE FRENZY

Steps:

• Place cantaloupe cubes and ice into the container of a blender. Process until the ice is in small pieces. Add sugar, and puree. Pour into tall glasses and serve immediately.

SAUTEED CANTALOUPE WITH FLEUR DE SEL

Steps:

• Using a serrated knife, remove peel of both cantaloupes. Cut them in half lengthwise. With a spoon, gently remove seeds, being careful not to bruise the fruit.
• Set aside one cantaloupe half. Place remaining three halves cut side down on a cutting board. Slice each half lengthwise into six spears, for a total of 18 spears. Using a vegetable peeler, shave remaining cantaloupe half into paper-thin slices, and refrigerate.
• In a large saute pan over low heat, melt 4 tablespoons sugar until it liquefies and turns a light caramel color, about 1 1/2 minutes. Add half the cantaloupe spears, and saute for about 30 seconds on each side. Add 1/4 cup water, and simmer until water is almost gone, about 5 minutes. Transfer cantaloupe to a plate, and repeat with remaining cantaloupe spears, the remaining 4 tablespoons sugar, and an additional 1/4 cup water.
• To serve, sprinkle spears evenly with fleur de sel. Place three spears on each of six serving plates, and garnish with the chilled paper-thin cantaloupe slices and two turns of freshly ground pepper.
