(recipe) Green Papaya Salad

[Guest guest]

I made this thai salad today and it was wonderful. I

found pre-shredded green papaya at a new asian market

in town. Tomatoes are also traditionally used in this

salad. The next time I make this, I'll probably add

chopped cilantro or thai basil for even more flavor.

 

Green Papaya Salad

 

1 medium green papaya, peeled and seeds scooped out

1 large carrot

1 large hot red chili pepper, or 2-3 small ones

1 clove garlic, chopped

1 shallot, peeled and chopped

1 T brown sugar

1 T soy sauce

Juice of one lime

salt and pepper

¼ c. crushed roasted peanuts, for garnish (optional)

 

Using a grater or food processor, shred the papaya and

carrots. Place the papaya and carrots in a large

mixing bowland season with salt and pepper.

 

Pound garlic, shallot, chilies, and sugar in a mortar

with a pestle (or blend in a food processor). Mix the

chili-garlic combination with the brown sugar, soy

sauce, and lime juice, and pour onto the papaya and

carrots. Toss to mix. Transfer to a serving plate

and garnish with peanuts, if desired.
