This recipe is a great way to use the leftover watermelon rind as a versatile and exciting new ingredient. Inspired by 2018 Recipe Contest Entrant Surabhi Singh, the rind is simmered with spices and coconut milk for a slightly sweet and savory main dish. Watch the recipe video below.

I really liked it when I made it as directed, and I’m going to try it with a mix of summer squash and gobo (burdock root) in place of the watermelon rind this time.
