Grilled Watermelon “Salad”

Summer is winding down but there is still plenty of time for grilling and eating watermelons.  You will need:

• 1 Large Watermelon, sliced into 1 inch thick “steaks”
• 1 cup crumbled feta
• 2 large shallots, sliced thin
• 8 oz Balsamic Vinegar
• Handful of mint to garnish
• Salt and Pepper

Reduce the Balsamic vinegar in a pan on low heat for about 40 minutes until it is about 1/4 volume and becomes syrupy (open a window, vinegar is smelly).  Slice the shallots thin and saute them in a little bit of oil until they just begin to brown and remove from heat.  Place watermelon steaks on the grill for about 5 minutes a side until they are warm and begin to crisp.  In a large bowl mix the shallots and feta with just a bit of salt and pepper.  Place the shallot-feta mixture on top of the grilled watermelon, drizzle on Balsamic glaze and top with some mint leaves.
