Fruit Stew
serves 2 ~ $2.48 per serving
ingredients
- 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
directions
- 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. - In a large bowl, add the remaining
chopped mango, papaya, and cucumber, along with the onion, red bell
pepper, and jalapeno. Stir to mix. - Add the lime juice and stir again.
Serve with a bit of black pepper and a few crushed red pepper flakes. - 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.

Yummm, this looks tasty!
Glad you like it!
Where do you get 99 cent papayas, and how big are they? Here they're the size of footballs and cost $6-$7.
Hi Lynne, I get these at our local grocery. They're a bit smaller than footballs and not organic.
