Watermelon Rind Chutney

You literally can eat all parts of most fruits and vegetables.

I know I grew up with peeling the skin off of everything. But over the years, I have enjoyed leaving the skin on potatoes, carrots, apples, eggplant etc as there are so many nutrients that live at base of those fruits and veggies.

This dish is no exception and maybe you have never heard of it, but it’s popular in many parts of the world. From South Asia to the Caribbean, I borrowed from many different recipes and came up with one I really love!

The chutney has simple ingredients and flavours we are all familiar with!

Ingredients:

2 cups of finely chopped watermelon rind

1 cup of rice wine vinegar

1/4 cup of water

3/4 cup of brown sugar ( adjust to your sweetness desire)

1/4 cup of finely chopped garlic and ginger

2 pinches of chilli flakes

stir occasionally till all the liquid is gone.

Serve on rice, dhal, roti, etc!
