Tropical Papaya Boat

I first had this at a roadside fruit stand while on vacation. I was simply going to buy some papayas when the man working the stand offered samples. By "sample", he meant half a papaya with some extra goodies! Quite the salesman because it got me to spend a couple extra dollars on more ingredients.

This is quite simple to make and I'm hoping to snag the tropical fruits at an Asian grocer. Fingers crossed!!

Tropical Papaya Boat

Ingredients

• 1 papaya, halved
• 2 passionfruits, halved
• 1/2 lemon

Method

1. Remove the seeds from each papaya half. Scoop the seeds from one whole passionfruit into each papaya cavity.
2. Squeeze a little lemon over the passionfruit seeds and stir. Make adjustments to the amount of lemon juice, to taste. You want it to be a little tart; this will complement the sweet papaya flesh.
3. Serve the papaya with a spoon, scooping a little flesh and seeds into each bite.
