Ingredients:
2 cups of
shredded green papaya (or rutabaga)
2 T roasted
peanuts (unsalted probably)
2 cloves of
peeled garlic
1-2 small
Thai chili (optional)
½ piece of
palm sugar
7 cherry
tomatoes
juice of ½ lime
1 ½ Tbs
fish sauce
5-10 fresh
green beans, cut into 1 inch sticks
Directions:
1.
Roughly
crush peanuts with mortar/pestle. Set aside.
2.
Peel
and shred the papaya. Soak strips in cold water while you prepare the rest
3.
Smash
chilies, garlic and palm sugar with mortar/pestle. There should still be large bits
and pieces- not a puree.
4.
Add
peanuts and papaya and continue bashing, just enough for the papaya to soak up
the flavors.
5.
Add
tomatoes, beans, lime juice and fish sauce. Continue to bash, shifting mixture
with spoon to mix. You aren’t trying to break up the ingredients too much, just
enough to release the flavors.
