Green Papaya with chilli & lime recipe
Serves 1
Preparation time : 10 minutes
Green Papaya with chilli & lime Ingredients
- 1 garlic clove
- 25 gram roasted peanuts
- 125 gram green papaya, finely shredded
- 25 gram green beans, cut into 2.5 cm lengths
- 1 teaspoon ground dried shrimp
- 1 small bird's-eye red chilli
- 1 tablespoon clear honey
- 1/2 tablespoon fish sauce juice and rind of 1/2 lime
- 2 cherry tomatoes
Green Papaya with chilli & lime Directions
1. Use a wooden pestle and clay mortar to pound the garlic. Add the peanuts and pound roughly with the garlic. Add the papaya and pound softly, using a spoon to scrape down the sides, turning and mixing well.
2. Add the green beans and ground shrimp and keep pounding and turning to soften these
ingredients. Add the chilli, honey and fish sauce, then add in the lime juice and add the lime
rind to the mixture. Light pound together for another minute.
3. Add the tomatoes and lightly pound for another minutes. As the juice comes out, pound more gently so the liquid doesn't splash. Taste and adjust the seasoning. it should be a balance of sweet and sour with a hot taste.
4. Spoon the papaya saland and all the juices on to a serving plate.
5. For mixed vegetables with chilli & lime, replace the papaya and beans with 150 gram carrot and cabbage, finely shredded. Use 1 tablespoon coconut sugar, palm sugar or honey. Vegetarians can omit the ground shrimp and use light soy sauce instead of fish sauce, but the food will become slightly darker as a result
