1 – 2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 small piece ginger, sliced thin
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 onion, sliced
2 lbs. chicken, cut into serving pieces
2 small green papayas
2 – 3 cups water
2 cups marungay leaves
salt lightly to taste
Saute chicken in hot oil. Add ginger, garlic and onion. Saute until
onion is transparent. Season with salt. Add water. Cover and simmer for 30
minutes or until chicken is tender.
Peel papayas, remove seeds, and slice into 21/2" pieces. Add to
chicken and cook about 5 minutes or until papaya is tender but not mushy.
Add marungay leaves; cover pot and turn off heat. Let stand for 1 minute.
Note: Extremely high in saturated fat. To reduce, remove the
chicken skin.
Hints:
1. Marungay is a good source of calcium, Vitamins A and C.
2. Green Papaya is a good source of Vitamin C. Ripe papaya is a good
source of both Vitamins A and C.
