Crab in Papaya Cups
Author: kevin
One of my favorite fruits, papaya, is mixed here with sweet crab meat and curry. Placed back in the papaya “bowl” made from the peel.
- 2 ripe papayas
- 2 cups flaked cooked crab meat
- 2 tbsp finely chopped green onion tops or chives
- 1/2 tsp curry powder
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 2 tbsp toasted sunflower seeds
- mint for garnish
Cut the papayas in half lengthwise and carefully remove all seeds. Use a melon baller and scoop out the papaya pulp. Be careful not rip the skin which will be the shell for the meal.
In a frying pan toast the sunflower seeds lightly and let cool. In a mixing bowl lightly toss the toasted seeds, crab meat, chives, lemon juice and curry powder with the papaya balls and mix well. Divide the mixture evenly between the 4 papaya shells and garnish with the mint sprig. Serve as a side dish or light salad with dinner or lunch.
