Fruit Stew: Raw Food Recipe

• 1 mango, cubed ($1.49)
• 1 papaya, cubed ($.99)
• 1 cucumber, chopped ($.69)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil ($.20)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped ($.05)
• 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped ($.89)
• 1 jalapeno, minced ($.20)
• 2 tablespoons lime juice ($.45)
• black pepper
• red pepper flakes

1. In
   a food processor fitted with an “S blade, puree about a third of each
   of the mango, papaya, and cucumber and the olive oil and salt until very
   smooth. This is the stew base. 
2. In a large bowl, add the remaining
   chopped mango, papaya, and cucumber, along with the onion, red bell
   pepper, and jalapeno. 
3. Stir to mix. 
4. Add the lime juice and stir again. 
5. Serve with a bit of black pepper and a few crushed red pepper flakes.
6. Most
   of the heat of a jalapeno is found in the seeds. I like this kind of
   spicy so I include most of the seeds from the jalapeno. If you prefer a
   bit more mild taste, just leave out most or all of the seeds.
