Cantaloupe With Homemade Prosciutto
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cracked black pepper
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 3 pounds boned pork loin
- 4 ripe cantaloupes, halved, seeded, cut into 1-inch-thick wedges and peeled
- Combine the rosemary, salt, pepper and olive oil and rub the mixture all over the pork loin.
- Wrap in plastic and refrigerate overnight.
- Start a charcoal grill.
- When coals are very hot, place the pork on the grill and cook until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.
- Remove the pork from the grill and let the coals burn down for 10 minutes.
- Return the pork to the grill, cover and let cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 150 to 160 degrees, about 3 hours.
- If the pork is not done and the fire is out, finish cooking in the oven at 325 degrees.
- Let cool.
- Refrigerate until cold.
- Trim the ends off of the pork and slice the roast as thin as possible.
- To serve, arrange the cantaloupe slices on plates or a large platter and drape 1 slice of pork over each piece of melon.
