Sopropo with egg

Sopropo is the Surinamese name for bitter melon, a light green fruit with a bumpy skin and a distinctly bitter taste. In Suriname, it is baked in several ways, with shrimp, with salted meat, or, as here, simply with onion, garlic, and egg.

Do not skip salting it beforehand. The salt draws moisture out of the thin slices, and with it some of the bitterness, and because they go into the pan drier afterwards, they brown beautifully instead of stewing in their own juice. You won't get rid of the bitterness completely, and that is not the intention either.

The egg coats the slices in a soft layer, and with a bowl of white rice on the side, this is a simple dish for a weekday.
