Denver Green Chili

Recipe of the Week - 8/17/09 Papaya Chile Rice

I like the combination of spicy and fruit, and papaya
is especially good for this.

This is an easy to prepare dish, with a well-rounded
taste and the papaya to enhance it with some
interest and fresh sweetness. My favorite place to
buy papaya is Rancho Liborio, which has about four
locations in the Denver area. The most central is
on Federal just south of I-36. I might also try other
fruits, such as peaches, in this.
