Green papaya is the same fruit as the sweet orange one, but it's picked early while still green.

    Ruth & Vicky,

    Thank you for all the passion you're putting into creating wonderful vegan and vegetarian recipes! Over the years, I've tried many of them, and now have a file of favorites, to which I return time and time again. The lentil bolognese over rigatoni made this year's list too! It is delicious, easy and not even the most carnivorous members of the clan miss the meat. A winner, that is certain! Happy New Year 2018 and we all are looking forward to more "May I have That Recipe!"
