Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

Peel the papaya, halve it, and remove the seeds. Finely chop the onion and garlic and fry in oil until translucent (I use a deep pan or wok). Add the minced meat and stir well to avoid lumps. Then add the oregano or marjoram and stir well again until the meat is no longer red. Add the tomatoes and simmer gently until the mixture is no longer too thin. Gently season with pepper, salt, and chili or cayenne pepper and stuff the papaya. Top with cheese and place in the oven (lightly oil the roasting pan). Bake at 180°C for about 30 minutes. To make a sauce, add the remaining minced meat to the chicken stock and let it reduce slightly. Add the cream and season. A little sugar works wonders. Basmati rice goes well with it.
