Bitter Melon Borders

The bitter melon or (momordica charantia) can be easily used as a beautiful platter border due to its figured internal structure.

1. Cut off both ends of a bitter melon. Cut in half lengthwise and empty the inside contents.

2. Cut crosswise into slices of equal thickness.

3. Lay slices on the edge of the plates.

4. Combine slices and get different patterns on your platter.

Remember that this garnish has a bitter taste, that may not appeal to everyone!
