Pan-Fried Watermelon

I hate to waste anything, so when my watermelon vines with melons on them were dying, I took unripe small melons, washed, partly peeled, sliced, and cooked them in butter, of course! The result was surprising, indeed. It is a wonderful addition to any dish, breakfast eggs, lunch, or dinner. A sweet, very juicy flavor similar to zucchini. Loved it.

Step: 1

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook watermelon slices in melted butter until browned, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper to serve.

One of most clear way to choose a side dish is to caught at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and choose something different. If you’re making pasta, go for a simple vegetable . Made steak? Go for more light. If you’re making stir-fry with rice, it must not a best idea to also make a rice salad.

This also can apply to cooking method . You don’t want to push more often your oven by scheduling three dishes at once in there, or be rounding four pans on the cooking items . But sometimes you can make a dish do double-duty .
