Atchara is often served as a side dish for fried or grilled fish, seafoods, chicken, beef, as well as pork barbecue. The ingredients are shredded green unripe papaya, carrot, eggplant or ampalaya.
Ingredients:
* 2 cups grated green papaya
* 1 inch ginger, sliced thinly
* 1 green pepper, sliced thinly
* 3 cloves garlic, chopped finely
* 1/2 carrot, cut into circles or flower shapes
* 1/2 cup sectioned cauliflower
* 1/3 cup sugar
* 1/2 cup vinegar
* 100 grams raisins
* salt to taste
Procedures:
1). Soak papaya in a mixture of salt and water for 5 minutes. Rinse and squeeze dry.
2). Mix vinegar, sugar, ginger, garlic, onion, and other ingredients well.
3). Let stand for a few minutes. Transfer into jars and seal tightly. Chill if desired.
I have never heard of this dish before and it has some different takes on ingredients I have heard of, that makes it an exciting dish.
ReplyDeleteI love atchara, especially for breakfast or as a partner to oily fried food like tapa or pork chops
ReplyDeleteAtchara is a really a nice complement to most of the viands we have.
ReplyDeleteMy gulay!! Kuya I miss atchara, I can't remember the last time I had it. It's hard to find the ingredients I will be needing over here. The Asians store and far.
ReplyDeleteI miss eating achara very much. I can't make any here since there is no Papaya available.
