Ingredients: about 200g of fresh goats cheese about 100g of black olives 2 small melons about 2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh rosemary 250 ml elderflower vinegar or verjus 25g sugar Some toothpicks
Directions: Chop the olives and mix with the chopped rosemary. Slice a few olives in “rings” for decoration. Shape teaspoonfulls of cheese into balls and roll in the olive/rosemary mixture. Place in fridge until needed. Peel the melon like an apple. Start at one end and slice thin rings until you get to the seeds. Turn the melon 90 degrees and start again at the end, slicing thin rings. Keep turning until you have only the middle section with seeds left. Mix the vinegar and sugar in a small casserole and let it reduce to a syrup. Cover a pretty plate with the thin slices of melon, overlapping slightly. Pick some goats cheese balls with a toothpick and place on the melon. Drizzle with the reduced vinegar syrup and decorate with some olive rings and fresh rosemary.
