Ok stay with me on this one,I know it sounds a tad bizarre but you have to trust me here. I have recently delved into the land of Tapas. Little tiny foods much like appetizers or 
snacks. I recently bought the world’s BIGGEST watermelon and since it’s just the fella and I,I had to get creative with what to do with the melon beast. I came across a recipe for Chorizo and Watermelon on crusty bread. I know you’re thinking I’ve lost my mind or at worst my taste buds but the spicy chorizo,sweet and juicy watermelon and the crunch of rustic bread is a an explosion of yummy in your mouth.
ingredients:
- 2 hot chorizo sausages,sliced
- 3 medium-sized heirloom tomatoes,chopped
- 2-3 cups chopped watermelon
- crusty,rustic bread,sliced
- 1 large garlic clove
- extra virgin olive oil
- baby arugula
- about 2 tbsp sherry vinegar
- Heat a medium-sized sauté pan over high heat. Add in the chorizo (no added oil) and cook for a few minutes. Add in the tomatoes and cook for just a minute.
- Add the chorizo/tomato mixture to a large bowl with the watermelon. Toss well together.
- Toast the bread slices and while they are still warm,rub each with the garlic clove. Drizzle each slice with a bit of the olive oil.
- Top each piece of toast with a few leaves of arugula. Spoon on the chorizo/watermelon mixture,and then top again with more arugula leaves.
- Add the sherry vinegar to the hot pan that you cooked the chorizo in and stir it around to deglaze the pan. Pour the vinegar over the bread. Serve!
