A simple but interesting vegetarian dish
VEGETARIANS often get short-changed. However, it is not difficult to come up with some simple yet interesting dishes.
Combinations of spices work particularly well with cheese, and I am very fond of feta.
Its creamy taste works wonderfully well with spices and most ingredients for that matter. Combine it with some watermelon, which cuts well with the creamy texture.
Don’t be frightened of experimenting with other melons or cheese, but try this first.
WATERMELON AND SPICY FETA SKEWERS
Ingredients (serves 8-10)
½ small watermelon
200g feta cheese
½ tsp garam masala
½ tsp ground cumin
¼ tsp red chilli powder
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Juice from half a lime
Small handful chopped fresh coriander
Sea salt and freshly-milled pepper to season
Method
1. Cut the watermelon into bite size chunks, discarding the peel and any obvious seeds.
2. Cut the feta into chunks of a similar size to the watermelon and place in a bowl.
3. Mix the garam masala, cumin, chilli with the oil followed by the lime juice. Finally add the coriander, toss the cheese and melon in the spices and season with sea salt and freshly-milled pepper.
4. Thread the watermelon and feta chunks onto medium size skewers and serve.
