EXECUTION
- In a bowl, we “break” the watermelon pith in small pieces with our hands.
- We add all the remaining ingredients and stir them well until the mix becomes a pulp.
- We oil well a baking pan, big enough so that the pulp is not thicker than one finger.
- We sprinkle the baking pan with the semolina and add the pulp; we oil the watermelon pie surface and sprinkle it with the sesame.
- We bake the watermelon pie for 45’, let it cool and cut it into pieces.
- We serve the watermelon pie with cinnamon and honey, preferably cold, right out from the fridge.
- It is essential that the watermelon pie is very thin
- We can use a little clove for extra flavour
