This salsa is great as a marinade since papaya is a wonderful tenderizer. We use the salsa to marinate fajitas, but is also great with lobster, crab and shrimp Ingredients:
1 ripe papaya, halved seeded and peeled |
1/2 habanero pepper, seeded and minced |
1/2 teaspoon sugar |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 yellow tomatoes, seeded and finely diced |
1 red bell pepper, roasted,peeled,stemmed,seeded and finely diced |
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro |
1 tablespoon minced fresh mint |
salt |
Directions:
1. Dice half of the papaya and set it aside.
2. Cut up the other half, place in a blender and add the habanero chile, sugar, lemon juice, and olive oil.
3. Puree and add the reserved diced papaya, tomato, bell pepper, cilantro and mint.
4. Mix well and season to taste with salt.
5. Let stand for 15 minutes to allow flavors to blend before serving.
