Best Fresh Melon And Strawberries With Marsala Recipes

STRAWBERRY MELON SALAD

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, cut a round off the bottom and top of the melon so that the melon is stable on the cutting board.
• Once the melon is stable, use your knife to cut the skin off, following along the curve of the melon.
• When the melon's skin has been completely removed, cut the melon in half.
• Use a spoon to scoop the seeds out of the center of the melon.
• Once the seeds have been disposed of, use your knife to cut the melon into strips, then dice it into ½" cubes.
• Transfer the melon to a bowl.
• Add the halved strawberries and mint to the melon bowl.
• Juice the lemon on top of the fruit, being careful to ensure no seeds end up in the salad.
• Sprinkle the feta cheese into the salad.
• Toss using tongs.
• Drizzle the balsamic glaze on top of the salad, and serve immediately.

STRAWBERRIES WITH MARSALA

Steps:

• Toss together strawberries, sugar, and Marsala until sugar is dissolved.
• Let macerate at room temperature, tossing occasionally, 30 minutes before serving.

STRAWBERRIES WITH MARSALA AND LEMON SAUCE

Steps:

• For the sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the wine, sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly until the sugar has dissolved. Cook until the liquid has reduced by half, 25 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the nutmeg. Allow the sauce to cool for 30 minutes. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving (can be made 3 days in advance).
• To serve: Scoop the gelato into 4 dessert bowls and arrange the strawberries on top. Drizzle with the sauce and top with the crushed cookies.

STRAWBERRY-MARSALA CAKE

Steps:

• Brown the butter: Melt the 9 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, swirling it occasionally. As it melts, the butter will sizzle and foam. Continue cooking until the foam dissolves and the solids turn golden brown, about 5 minutes. (If the butter is spattering too much, reduce the heat a bit, and watch carefully to make sure it doesn't burn.) Remove it from the heat and allow it to cool.
• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease a 9-inch square cake pan with butter, line it with parchment, then grease the parchment.
• Hull the strawberries and slice them lengthwise, 1/4-inch thick. Toss them in a bowl with 2 tablespoons superfine sugar and set aside while you prepare the batter. (If strawberries aren't in season and yours are underripe or less sweet than they should be, you may want to add 1 to 2 additional teaspoons superfine sugar.)
• In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks and 5 tablespoons superfine sugar together until pale. Whisk in the browned butter (scraping to include the solids, if you like), then whisk in the Marsala until incorporated. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Sift over the batter and gently whisk to combine, smoothing out the lumps as best as you can.
• Using a stand mixer fitted with the wire whip on medium speed, or an electric beater, or simply a whisk and a bowl, beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Slowly add the remaining 5 tablespoons superfine sugar while beating to form a shiny meringue with stiff peaks, 5 to 7 minutes. Gently fold 1/3 of the meringue mixture into the batter, followed by the rest, then fold in the strawberries, using a slotted spoon to add the berries to the batter, leaving any strawberry juices behind.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until the top is golden and the cake is springy to the touch, 30 to 33 minutes.
• Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve right away with some freshly whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
