Report
This refreshing and easy to make Greek dessert recipe, brings out the taste of watermelon and looks pretty too.

Ingredients
- ¼ - ½ cup sesame seeds
- 2 pounds watermelon cut in cubes about the size of walnuts
- ½ cup honey plus 2 tablespoons for drizzling
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ¾ cup flour
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven at 350 Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).
- Remove the seeds from the watermelon. Cut in cubes about the size of a walnut. Place in colander and let it strain for about an hour. Squeeze a bit more with your hands to remove additional liquid.
- Place watermelon in a large bowl. Add brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, ½ cup honey and olive oil and mix well with a large spoon, carefully as to not break the watermelon pieces. The batter will be somewhat liquid.
- In a cake pan (I used a quiche pan-you do not want it to be too deep) grease with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle the base with sesame seeds, enough to make a crust. Pour over the watermelon mixture and spread evenly. Sprinkle some more sesame seeds and bake in the oven for about an hour.
- Remove, drizzle the rest of the honey and let it cool. Serve it with creamy Greek yogurt.
