Chef Hang Outs w/Chef Scotty A vibrant, high-frequency appetizer featuring smoky, cold-pressed watermelon 'sashimi' topped with a zesty ginger-lime infusion and a hint of volcanic salt.
Slice the watermelon into uniform 2-inch by 1-inch rectangles, approximately half an inch thick, to mimic the appearance of traditional sashimi.
Ensure the watermelon is cold for the cleanest cuts.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and liquid smoke. Lightly brush each watermelon slice with the mixture and let them rest in the refrigerator to absorb the smoky frequency.
This mimics the depth of wood-fired flavor without the heat.
Prepare the ginger-lime infusion by mixing the grated ginger, lime juice, and agave in a small glass vessel. Let the flavors synchronize.
Use a glass bowl to maintain the purity of the citrus energy.
Arrange the smoked watermelon slices on a chilled ceramic platter. Spoon a small amount of the ginger-lime infusion over each piece.
Plating is a meditative act; take your time.
Garnish each slice with a sliver of serrano pepper, a sprinkle of fresh mint, and a delicate touch of black lava salt. Serve immediately while the temperature contrast is at its peak.
The salt provides a grounding finish to the vibrant fruit.
