Encourage you to try it and tell us what do you think.
Method
Peel and finely slice the cloves of garlic.
Remove the stem from the strawberries, wash and slice them.
Wash the melon, remove the pips and the skin, and cut in rectangular blocks of approximately the same size.
Place a non-stick frying pan over a low heat, to avoid burning, and add the sugar and garlic.
When the sugar has melted, add the melon and cook on all sides.
Add the strawberries, sauté and remove.
FINISHING THE DISH:
Place two chunks of melon on a flat plate, separated from each other.
Place a few slices of strawberry on top of them and add a little of the syrup left in the pan, along with a few sheets of caramelised garlic.
CHEF'S TIPS_Miguel Ángel Mateos:
- While the sugar is melting in the pan, do not stir too much as it can crystallise and will not make syrup.
- The caramel should not take a very dark colour, as this means that it is burning and it will therefore have a bitter taste.
- This dessert can be served hot or cold. A fabulous addition to the dish is to add a scoop of ice cream to the warm fruit.
