I came up with this dish on the fly for a cooking competition against Jeff Mauro! Watermelon and mustard is the combo you never knew you needed – it’s a tangy twist that elevates summer’s favorite fruit. Get it grilled nice and charred, throw on some chorizo and brown sugar for a warm glazed pizza, perfect for your backyard barbecue. The ICAG thought it had an agrodolce vibe, and Geoffrey Zakarian thought the flavor combos worked!

Directions
Special equipment:
a grill or grill pan; a spray bottle- Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Drizzle both sides of the watermelon with the olive oil and rub to coat. Season with salt.
- Place onto the grill or grill pan and allow to grill until nicely charred but the watermelon is still crisp, about 3 minutes per side.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce. In a medium sauté pan over medium heat, add the mustard, brown sugar and 2 teaspoons of the apple cider vinegar. Stir to combine. Allow to cook for a minute or so. Add the onion and cook for another minute or so. Add the chorizo and continue to cook until warmed through and nicely coated, 2 minutes.
- Spoon the sauce over the watermelon while still on the grill during the final couple minutes of cooking. Spritz the watermelon on the grill with the remaining 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar.
- Remove the pizza from the grill and garnish with the cilantro leaves. Slice into wedges and serve.
