Som Tum

Not sure if that's how you spell it, but we made it. This is my husband's favorite Thai dish and he decided to make it. He bought all the ingredients and special tools. It is a spicy shredded papaya salad. He made it with only 5 peppers instead of the 8 it called for. He claims it was too mild, but I thought it was plenty hot. Had to capture my hubby and daughter in the kitchen, cooking together. Here are some pictures.

Matt checks out the papaya to make sure it is good. We discovered we need the green unripe papayas instead of the huge pink ones.














Ginny took this picture of the garlic and peppers being smashed together. I wish you could smell it. Yum!

M and G add the finishing touches to the salad.
