_{The of young papaya are always underestimated if it is not ripe, right? Who would have thought that young papaya is very tasty to be processed into food as a home side dish and even often used as another hunger delay food.}

In the area where I live, young papaya is a vegetable that is almost always present in a cooked mixed vegetable dish. In addition to its good taste, the texture is also very good if processed according to what you need.

Pickled Young Papaya

---

This recipe is inspired by one of the regions in my country, where they make pickled young papaya as a delicious dish. By mixing seasonings in the form of fried peanut onions and other spices. Interestingly they also use vinegar in this dish so that the taste becomes more delicious and better pickles. Yeah I love pickles that have this kind of flavor variant, the onion bean mixture becomes a very distinctive flavor.

Although very simple, making these pickles requires a long process to get good and delicious pickles.

Tara!!!

Pickled young papaya is ready to be served on your plate, serve it at leisure or as a complementary menu during lunch with your family. I'm sure you'll think this is a simple dish but it's really good. The combination of peanut sauce, shallots and young papaya steam it a delicious savory taste. Moreover, there are pieces of tomato that give a natural freshness to this dish.

I think this is one of the more unexpectedly delicious vegan dishes. Yeah I just found this young pickled papaya for the first time. And yeah this is indeed a good pickle after pickled cucumber. I like the texture after steaming the young papaya becomes lighter and softer, which of course when enjoyed there is a texture that is very similar to cucumber.

For those of you who have young papayas that go to waste because of their hard texture and flavor. Try making this simple and easy dish!
