Momordica charantia

HOT DAMN ITS DALASHAS #vegan

Eat what you grow, water the seeds with love, enjoy

I'm about to cook more of this weird, un-American vegetable that no one in my neighborhood wants. 21Oct2020 #gyo

How are you going to cook it?

I always wondered what these were..i have a neighbor that grows them..haha I thought they were a cucumber gone wrong 😅

@cyndi To reduce bitterness, I soaked the chopped pieces in salted water for at least 15 minutes. Sautéed some garlic cloves and a whole onion with some vegetable oil. Added chopped bell pepper, a whole soyrizo, black bean garlic sauce, garlic hoisin sauce, some water, and veg BBQ sauce.

Added bitter melon, frozen peas, and frozen corn kernels. Covered to give b. melon more time to soften. Served over boiled white rice. Shoveled into eager moufhole. 😛

Oh crap not you @cyndi I meant @Cindy76 ha ha

The good news: Every time I cook #bittermelon, it turns out better than the last time. The bad news: No one else wants to eat bitter melon. 30 Aug 2020 #gyo #urbanfarming #ampalaya

Yeah, it's an acquired taste

Love it. Very nice.

I'm getting better at cooking #bittermelon. Hoisin + black bean sauce works quite nicely. 20Aug2020

Nice. How big is it?

Added slivered almonds (I was out of cashews) and ate it with steamed rice. Pretty good! 7Aug2020 #gyo #vegan

Had a few pleasant surprises in the garden today. 6Aug2020 #gyo #urbangardening #foodforest

My first baby #bittermelon! Inay ("Mother" in Tagalog) informed me that the leaves are a nice addition to traditional Filipino #mungbean soup. 3June2020 #gyo #ampalaya

I find #momordica-charantia to be a rather attractive, dramatic plant. Those leaves! Those tendrils! And that fruit! #bittermelon #ampalaya 29May2020
