Method

1

Finely dice the onion and sauté in a blend of oils until soft.

2

Cover the almonds with boiling water for 10-15 minutes, peel off the skins, and add them to the saucepan with the onion.

3

Chop the beef tenderloin finely with a knife until it resembles minced meat, and add it to the onions and nuts.

4

Add the two types of raisins, the cinnamon stick, ground cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Cook until the meat is done.

5

Slice the top off the melon to create a lid and carefully scoop out the seeds.

6

Mix the meat filling with the cooked rice and a small splash of fresh melon juice.

7

Stuff the melon tightly with the filling, put the lid back on, and bake in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for 15-20 minutes.
