Melons were the perfect appetizer for a summer dinner on the terrace in the Cote d' Azur.

Here’s a recipe I enjoyed at a dinner party on the terrace of my boyfriend’s grandparents villa in the French Rivvie. It was served as an opener for a Chicken Tajine. Simple, sexy and impressive. This is also great for large parties because portioning is so simple.  It’s also a cocktail!  This recipe serves four.

Ingredients

2 Charentais or Cantaloupe melons

8 tablespoons Port

Directions

Half and seed melons.

Place on individual serving plates and fill each melon with two tablespoons Port.
