Tanya starts with ... Got home this arvo & my biggest paw paw tree had been uprooted in the rain & wind today. Now I have about 20 green paw paws of various sizes. I picked a partly yellow one yesterday so some of them may have been close to ripening. Will they still ripen? If not, can I still use them? | About the Author Tanya Brisbane 18th April 2011 5:26pm #UserID: 651 Posts: 16 View All Tanya's Edible Fruit Trees |

speedy says... de-seeded, peeled, shredded green papaya chilli garlic peanuts fish sauce lime juice sugar tomato green beans or snake beans black pepper dont know if it's normally used in it , but I always put it in. I prefer to leave the fruit whole, peel it and run the whole fruit over a shredder, working around the fruit til i get to the seed cavity then discard whats left. some asian grocery shops sell small hand held shredders (a bit like a vege peeler) that is pulled over the fruit surface to get long shreds of the fruit. optional:- fermented shrimp paste (gapi) or a bit of 'pla ra' (smells and looks like fish emulsion but a little bit tastes great) shredded cooked chicken meat or cooked prawns I like small round eggplant quartered method- pound pepper, garlic and chilli (strongest flavoured ingredients) in a large terracotta mortar to disperse flavours evenly. add a bit of papaya, pound it then peanuts, pound it, mixing with spoon between strokes of wooden pestle add sugar and more papaya, pound ..tomato and so on generously add fish sauce and lime juice to taste and pound it to get the sauce and juice into the papaya shreds. mix well. tip out onto serving plate and serve with rice (sticky rice is best) and eat with fingers. it should be quite hot. I liken it to a spicey tropical version of coleslaw, but better. so good! | About the Author Speedy Northern Vic. 19th April 2011 12:52am #UserID: 2305 Posts: 250 View All Speedy's Edible Fruit Trees |
trikus says... I have watched a Thai lady cut fine sticks/strips off a green pawpaw by wacking a knife into the fruit many times and then cutting along .. she made it look so easy ! She and her Aussie husband had a business going around Childers collecting green pawpaws to send down to Syd. markets . They came with ladders and several kids , and Lek would climb up and select a few fruits from each tree [ we had several ] You could not even tell any had been removed , and this was after over 100kg had been harvested . 50c /kg paid for a big bag of DL with no work , to easy . They also harvested a few local tamarind trees and had a large market garden . | About the Author Trikus battered Tully 19th April 2011 8:22am #UserID: 930 Posts: 749 View All Trikus's Edible Fruit Trees |
