Green Papaya

I've discovered the wonderful yumminess of green papaya. Papayas are
plentiful here in DRC. A papaya tree recently blew over in a storm and I
got a bright idea. I've had green papaya before, but have never prepared
it. Nobody here knew what to do. But I chanced on a pretty good recipe:

grate one green papaya (peeled and seeds removed)
grate one onion
mince some fresh garlic
blend one coconut with some extra water

Put all of that into a fry pan. The natural oil in the coconut helps it
fry up into a very yummy dish. Good on rice.

Grated green papaya tastes similar to grated zucchini.
