GOYA (BITTER MELON)-HANDAMA SUNBURST CHILI PENNE
Goya (bitter melon) is a very popular food item on island. Hubby loves it. I, on the other hand, have always had trouble with the bitterness. But I don't give up easily, and after all these years on island decided to try to come up with some recipes that at least gave me a chance to develop a taste for the gourd.
