Tropic thunder!!
Ok, so 2 people have voted on my blog to see me post a new recipe..
so i've been trying my best to come up with something special yet easy to make..
and i wanted it to be something related to fruits cos my friend in Canada had some health issues..
therefore, i was running thru my mind for recipes and remembered something that was shown to me by chef Jean..
Sauteed fruits..
So on i go down into the kitchen and tried to "fry" some fruits..
in malaysia the fruit that's probably fried the most had to be Bananas...
banana fritters are almost staple add-ons to any typical tea time snack..
however dun let that idea get into your head just yet..
cos fritters are dry whereas the recipe we came up with made the fruit sweeter and slightly juicier..
so here's wat we had to work with :)
so i wanted to have something high in protein and fruit sugar for energy as well as sustenance
hence i chose meat and a fruit
ingredients:
fruit- watermelon (cubed)
meat- beef bacon(cut so that it can fit onto the cube) or pork bacon
salt(in moderation)
pepper(to your tastes)
garnish- still haven worked out a nice garnish..(forgot what they used that day too..)
instructions:
1. cut the fruits into cubes
2. heat a flat based pan lightly and coat with olive oil
3. lightly fry the meat till its just done on a small flame (this takes considerable skill and patience and experience.. took me14 strips before it got really nice...)
4. place the strips onto a papered plate to dry excess oil.
5. slightly fry the cubes on a low flame next on all sides of the cube till they turn fragrant.
6. once they are fragrant u can take them off and place them on a serving plate
7. fold the meat and place it onto the cubes with the help of a tooth pick and serve with garnishes when possible..(i didnt have any and they still tasted fresh but i prefer the garnish :P )
this dish is a simple snack that maintains the goodness of having a low carb meal for those who are on a carbless diet..
and it also has proteins for those who need em
and for those who lack the fruit goodness and fibers... mixing them up is a nice way of prompting stubborn young ones into eating fruits :)

Watermelon is not easy to find here. Does it still taste good if I substitute it with other fruits?
noessssss! frying watermelon? it'll taste like sugarcane. ask me and ywsmokona, we know (but it was bbq-ed). >__<
oh yeah, you dint say how did yours came out in the end? how does it taste?
i tried mine with watermelon and papaya
they're both awesome..
but it takes sm getting used to..
and the watermelons need to be juicy not dry..
the juice will turn to brown sugar at the bottom of the pan though :P
so dun leave it on heat for too long
Hmm watermelon sounds weird :P I'd probably try for mango or apple, though these would probably caramelize faster due to the sugar content :P
