Bitter Melon

Went to a new farm stand, saw the bitter melon.  I've eaten this since a child -- I just don't really cook it.

I started by taking out the seeds, I cut off the ends and cut lengthwise.

I used a spoon to scoop the insides out,

Then I sliced them up

I sauted them quickly in coconut oil. -- they looked super green.

I added them to beef for beef and bitter melon.

My husband HATED it!  It is definitely an acquired taste.  I ate all mine up!
