Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Vegetables

Yield Makes 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 12

10 bird's-eye chiles or 6 habanero chiles, seeds and ribs removed, finely chopped
2 bay leaves
2 stalks lemongrass, tender inner part only, finely chopped
Zest of 2 limes
1 large red onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom, preferably freshly ground
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 piece (3 inches) fresh ginger, peeled and grated
2 tablespoons peanut oil
2 teaspoons coarse salt

Steps:

  • Place all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and process until a chunky paste forms. Green curry paste may be stored in an airtight container, refrigerated up to 1 week.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe papaya: Use ripe, firm papaya for the best flavor and texture. Ripe papaya has a deep orange or yellow color and yields slightly to pressure.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your papaya condiment the best flavor. If possible, use freshly picked papaya, onions, and peppers.
  • Adjust the spiciness: The amount of scotch bonnet pepper you use will determine the spiciness of your condiment. If you don't like spicy food, you can omit the scotch bonnet pepper or use a milder pepper, such as a bell pepper.
  • Let the flavors meld: Allow the papaya condiment to sit for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. This will give the condiment a more complex and well-rounded flavor.
  • Store properly: Store the papaya condiment in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

West Indian papaya condiment is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
