How To Turn A Watermelon Into A Delicious Smoked Watermelon Ham

Жыл бұрын

Here’s a Christmas dish for our vegan and vegetarian friends that’s not a salad, side or fake meat - Smoked Watermelon Ham. Watch the video and make it at home this Christmas!
Recipe
For the brine you want 2.5% salt and 1.5% brown sugar (compared to the total water volume), then add your 4 x cinnamon, 8 x star anise and 10 x cloves. Brine your watermelon for 48-72 hours.
Smoke the melon at 125°C/250f for the first 3 hours and then turn it up to 170°C/335f for the last 3 hours.
Remove from the smoker and score the top into a diamond pattern before basting with olive oil and rosemary. Enjoy!

This is definitely one of the more fascinating recipes I've ever seen. I don't love the idea of it but I'd sure as hell love to try it, both eating and cooking. Thanks for sharing.

So, I’m Indigenous here in the U.S. We have a dish called “frybread” or a “Navajo Taco.” It’s deep fried (fluffy) dough with refried pinto beans, New Mexico salsa, Mexican cheeses, tomatoes, lettuce, and Pico de Gallo. And for the frybread we have leftover, it’s honey and powdered sugar as dessert. Send us some love. We’re watching! ♥️

It’s not a requirement it’s a preference, there’s a difference between physically not being able to eat something without getting sick or dying like allergies or celiac disease If a vegetarian or vegan eats meat nothing bad will happen, if someone with a peanut allergy smells peanuts in the air they could die

@@dantethunderstone2118 I know this is nitpicking, but there are actually people who are sort of allergic to red meat. It's called Alpha-gal syndrome, and it's not very common though. Another thing is that people with vegan diet may have hard time digesting animal products, since their gut flora is not used to it.
