It's the weekend! And not any old weekend at that, as daylight savings starts on Sunday. Hoorah! We look forward to warm summer dinners outside and beach walks after work! To celebrate having a life after work each day, below is a delicious summer treat from 'What Katie Ate', the Sydney based food blog (which is now also a fantastic book). Feel free to add some white rum if you dare...
Watermelon, Salt and Chilli Granita
ingredients
1kg fresh seedless watermelon, skin removed and roughly chopped
1tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp (plus a teeny pinch extra) dried chilli flakes
method
Add the roughly chopped watermelon, fresh lime juice, salt and chilli flakes to a blender or food processor, and blend until the mixture forms a pulpy consistency. Pass the mixture through a sieve, and using the back of a spoon, press firmly as much liquid as you can. Discard the left over pulp.
Pour the sieved liquid into a wide metal baking tray and freeze for approximately 2-3 hours.
When ready to serve, using a fork scrape granita into shards,serve in dessert glasses and sprinkle over a few chilli flakes.
