RhumAndJerk[p]Stuffed Green Pawpaw
From Traveling Jamaica with Knife, Fork & Spoon by Robb Walsh & Jay McCarthy[p]A lot of unripe fruits are treated as vegetables in Jamaican cooking.
Green bananas, mangos, and pawpaws (papayas) are popular examples.
This is one method of preparing a green papaya[p]1 unripe (only slightly yellow) pawpaw (papaya), about 2 pounds
.5 cup vegetable oil
2 onions, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 cup water and .25 cup water
2 ounces bacon or ham
1 scotch bonnet pepper, seeded and diced
1 tablespoon bread crumbs
1 egg
Salt to taste[p]Cut off the top end of the pawpaw, and level the bottom end. Scoop out the seeds and discard them. In a frying pan, heat the oil. Briefly sauté the onions, garlic, tomatoes, and bell pepper. Add water until it is about .25-inch deep in the pan (about 1 cup), cover the pan and stew the mixture for 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a small frying pan, sauté the bacon or ham, and finely dice it. Mix it with the Scotch bonnet pepper, bread crumbs, egg, and salt. Add this mixture to the vegetable stew, then pack the stew into the pawpaw. Wrap the Pawpaw in foil, set it in a small baking pan. Bake the pawpaw for an hour.
Unwrap the pawpaw, slice it into rings, and serve.[p]Serves 6[p]Note: The skin of the pawpaw should not be eaten; it contains an enzyme that can cause an allergic reaction.
