CONDIMENTS: Watermelon Rind Condiment

Watermelon Rind Condiment

Here’s a novel way to make use of those otherwise discarded watermelon rinds

One of the principles of macrobiotics is “no waste.” This recipe let’s us put it into action.

2 cups diced watermelon rind (white part with the outside skin trimmed off)

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon barley miso (or to taste)

1.  Cut away the outer green skin of the watermelon.  Dice the white part into 1/2″ cubes.

2.  Warm the oil in a cast iron skillet.

3.  Add the watermelon rind.  Saute 2-3 minutes over medium high flame.

4.  Add miso.  Mix in until the miso melts.

5.  Cover pot with a lid and cook until the watermelon rinds are semi soft.

6.  Serve as a condiment for grain, bread, or pasta.

CONDIMENTS: Pumpkin Seed Sprinkle

Pumpkin Seed Sprinkle

1/2 pumpkin seeds

1/2 cup tightly packed dulse (yields about 1/4 cup

powdered dulse)

1.  Unfold dulse and check for sea shells and stones

2.  Spread dulse on a cookie sheet and bake at 350? for 10 to 15 minutes, or until dulse can be

crushed easily.

3.  Place pumpkin seeds on another cookie sheet and bake at the same time for 10 to 15 minutes.

4.  Stir once after 5 minutes so the seeds bake evenly.  The seeds are roasted when they puff out and

are slightly golden.

5.  Place dulse in a suribachi and grind to a fine powder.

6.  Add roasted pumpkin seeds to the powdered dulse and grind with the pestle until about 2/3 of the

seeds are crushed.

7.  Serve over grains, porridge or creme soups.
