Recipe #2 Ingredients:

• 1 2-lb. green papaya, about 4 1/2 cups shredded
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup red bell pepper, julienned
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced (crosswise) shallots
• 1 large clove garlic, sliced thinly crosswise, centers discarded
• 1/2 cup raisins

Directions:

1. Peel the papaya and discard seeds. Shred using the small holes of a six-sided grater or the fine-shredding disc of a food processor.
2. Put the shredded papaya in a bowl, sprinkle with the teaspoon of salt and toss. Let sit for an hour or so, then squeeze the papaya by the handfuls, discarding the juice.
3. Bring vinegar, sugar and salt to the boil in a saucepan. You can use white distilled vinegar. What you are trying to achieve is a nice balance of sour to sweet to salty, with sweet and sour dominating.

5. Remove from heat and set aside to cool while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
6. Put everything in a large bowl, pour the vinegar mixture on top and combine well.
