Fruit Stew

• 1 mango, cubed ($1.49)
• 1 papaya, cubed ($.99)
• 1 cucumber, chopped ($.69)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil ($.20)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped ($.05)
• 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped ($.89)
• 1 jalapeno, minced ($.20)
• 2 tablespoons lime juice ($.45)
• black pepper
• red pepper flakes

directions

• In
  a food processor fitted with an “S blade, puree about a third of each
  of the mango, papaya, and cucumber and the olive oil and salt until
  very smooth. This is the stew base. 
• In a large bowl, add the remaining
  chopped mango, papaya, and cucumber, along with the onion, red bell
  pepper, and jalapeno. Stir to mix. 
• Add the lime juice and stir again.
  Serve with a bit of black pepper and a few crushed red pepper flakes.
• Most
  of the heat of a jalapeno is found in the seeds. I like this kind of
  spicy so I include most of the seeds from the jalapeno. If you prefer a
  bit more mild taste, just leave out most or all of the seeds.
