Watermelon Rind Stir-Fry
Gennette
"The rind of a watermelon contains a lot of nutrients that go to waste if you just throw it away after eating the inner part of the watermelon. Why not put it to some use? Cooked watermelon rind has a texture similar to zucchini, and it adds a mildly sweet taste to this stir-fry."

Ready In
- Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet over medium heat until the oil just begins to smoke; cook and stir the onion, garlic, and salt in the hot oil until the onions are translucent, about 2 minutes. Stir the watermelon rind, red bell pepper, and about half the vegetable broth into the onion mixture. Reduce heat to low. Place a cover over the skillet and simmer the mixture for 5 minutes.
- Whisk the remaining vegetable broth, the teriyaki sauce, and cornstarch together in a small bowl; stir into the mixture in the skillet and cook until the mixture begins to thicken. Serve hot.

I give it 3 stars just for the creativity. However when it comes right down to it, the watermelon really isn't bringing a lot of flavor to the dish, and it honestly seemed like a vector for Ter...
