Preparation steps

Peel the zest of the lemon into thin strips. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape the seeds into a saucepan along with the vanilla bean, lemon zest, sugar and salt to a boil. Add the rice and simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet until fragrant and lightly browned, transfer to a plate to stop the cooking. Remove the vanilla bean and lemon zest.

Halve the melon, remove seeds, cut into wide wedges and slice. Melt butter in a pan, add sugar and cook over medium-low heat until caramelized. Add the melon slices to the pan and briefly swirl. Serve the rice pudding on deep plates, top with melon slices, pine nuts and lemon zest and serve garnished with mint leaves.
