Preparation

The preparation for this dish is very straightforward. Halve a ripe Papaya lengthwise with a Chef’s Knife. Tropical Papayas are preferred since they will be sweeter but the recipe will work with a Mexican Papaya as well, though it may have a muskier flavor. Remove the Papaya Seeds from the Papaya. It will form the basis of your dish. If working with Raw Almonds, Toast them.

Method

Sprinkle the Papaya halves with Lime Juice. Top them with Cottage Cheese. Add Toasted Almonds. Finally, Garnish the two servings with the Mint leaves.

Serve immediately, or chill for 30 minutes before service. Do not hold for an extended period of time because the Papain in the Papaya and the Acid in the Lime Juice will impact the Cottage Cheese negatively making it break down and get watery.
