1 clove garlic, minced
Zest and juice of 1 lime
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup canned coconut cream, skimmed from the top of the can* (See Cook's Note)
2 tablespoons freshly chopped cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more as needed

1/4 cup Spiced Cashew Nuts, coarsely chopped, recipe follows

1 cup water
1/2 cup seasoned rice wine vinegar
5 cups large diced papaya
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon butter
1/2 cup unsalted cashews
Pinch ground paprika
Pinch kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the marinade: In a bowl, combine the papaya seeds, garlic, lime zest, lime juice, lemon zest, lemon juice, coconut cream, cilantro, and ginger, and mix thoroughly. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl, and toss to coat in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator to marinate for a minimum of 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
  • For the chicken: Heat and a grill over medium-high heat and lightly grease the grate with oil. Remove the chicken from the marinade, and lay the breasts on the hot grill. Discard the marinade. Baste each chicken breast with 2 tablespoons Papaya BBQ Sauce, and continue grilling, turning once and basting occasionally with the remaining sauce, until the meat is cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and garnish the chicken with the chopped Spiced Cashew Nuts and cilantro leaves, if using.
  • Heat the oil in a pot over medium heat, and add in the onion. Cook, until the onions are translucent, stirring continuously to ensure the pieces do not brown. Sprinkle the sugar, scotch bonnet, lime zest, and lemon zest over the onions, and stir until the sugar dissolves. Pour in the lime juice, lemon juice, water and vinegar. Bring the ingredients to a boil. Add in the diced papaya, and adjust the seasonings with the salt, if desired. Bring the mixture to a boil again, reduce the heat, and allow the mixture to simmer for 15 minutes. Take the pan off the heat, and let the mixture cool slightly. Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender, and puree the sauce until smooth. Transfer the BBQ sauce to a bowl, and set aside.
  • In a small frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Drop the cashews into the pan, and toast until golden brown. Remove the pan from the heat, then sprinkle over the paprika, and salt, and gently toss to coat.

ROASTED CHICKEN WITH A PAPAYA GLAZE



Roasted Chicken with a Papaya Glaze image

Provided by Food Network

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (3 1/2 pound) chicken, preferably free range
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup orange juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 shallots, halved
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon Dijonstyle mustard
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 ripe papaya, halved, peeled and seeded, 1 half thinly sliced and reserved for garnish
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 bunch flat leaf parsley, coarse stems removed
1 bunch watercress, coarse stems removed

Steps:

  • Rinse and pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Rub it with the salt and place it in a baking dish just large enough to hold it. In a blender or a food processor, combine the orange juice, olive oil, brown sugar, and shallots. Process until the shallots are finely minced. Pour the orange juice mixture over the chicken, crumble the bay leaf over the top, and cover the whole dish tightly with plastic wrap. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight, spooning the marinade over the chicken occasionally. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Transfer the chicken to a rack in a roasting pan, breast side down and reserve the marinade and add 1/2 cup water. Roast the chicken for 40 minutes, then turn to the other side and roast for 40 minutes more. As soon as you put the chicken in to roast, prepare the papaya glaze: strain the orange juice marinade into a food processor, discarding the solids, and add the mustard, garlic, halved papaya, thyme, salt, and pepper. Process the mixture for 10 to 20 seconds, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary, until smooth. Divide the glaze into halves and use half of it to baste the chicken as it roasts, basting thoroughly every 20 minutes or so. When the chicken is cooked through with no trace of pink remaining, remove it to a warmed serving platter and set aside at the back of the stove. Discard all the fat from the roasting pan, saving the pan drippings. Scrape the drippings into a small saucepan and place it over medium heat. Whisk in the butter, then add the remaining half of the papaya glaze and simmer the sauce for 4 minutes.
  • Garnish the platter with the parsley and watercress sprigs and the remaining half papaya, cut into long strips. Drizzle a little of the sauce over the top. Serve at once, passing the remaining sauce.

MALAYSIAN BAKED PAPAYA WITH GINGER



Malaysian Baked Papaya With Ginger image

A different version of baked papaya than the previous one I posted. This version has a crunchy filling/topping with pistachios, raisins, and ginger. If you don't care for raisins too much (like me), feel free to reduce the amount or leave them out entirely. If you need to leave out the pistachios, just sub in extra cookie crumbs to make up for some texture and volume. For another variation, use Greek yogurt in place of the heavy cream, and almonds in place of the pistachios. Adapted from Thai & Asian cookbook, untried by me. Posted for ZWT

Categories     Dessert

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 ripe papayas (not too soft, for better presentation)
2 pieces stem ginger in syrup, drained (reserve 1 tbs of ginger syrup)
8 amaretti cookies, coarsely crushed (or whatever type of sweet biscuit you prefer)
3 tablespoons raisins (optional)
1 lime, juice and finely chopped zest of
1/4 cup chopped pistachios
1 tablespoon light muscovado sugar (or light brown sugar)
4 tablespoons heavy cream, plus extra for serving (the extra can be lightly sweetened and whipped or liquid, as you prefer)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Cut the papayas in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Place the halves (cut side up) in a large glass baking dish and set them aside while you prepare the filling/topping.
  • Cut the stem ginger into thin matchsticks. Combine the ginger with the crushed amaretti and raisins in a medium mixing bowl. Stir in the lime juice, lime zest, and two-thirds of the nuts. Add the sugar and 4 tbs of cream. Mix well.
  • Divide the filling evenly amongst the papaya halves. Drizzle with the reserved ginger syrup and sprinkle with the reserved chopped nuts. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until papaya is tender. Serve slightly warm with the extra cream.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe papaya: Choose papaya that is fully ripe for the best flavor and texture. Ripe papaya has a deep orange-yellow color and yields slightly to pressure when gently squeezed.
  • Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger adds a spicy, aromatic flavor to the dish. If using dried ginger, use about 1/4 of the amount called for in the recipe.
  • Don't overcook the papaya: Papaya cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked papaya becomes mushy and loses its flavor.
  • Serve warm or cold: Roasted or grilled papaya can be served warm or cold. It is a great addition to breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Conclusion:

Roasted or grilled papaya is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this tropical fruit. It is easy to make and can be served as a side dish, appetizer, or dessert. Whether you choose to roast or grill the papaya, be sure to use ripe fruit and fresh ginger for the best results. Experiment with different seasonings and toppings to find your favorite way to enjoy this dish.
