White Chocolate Ginger Papaya Bread
Chunks of white chocolate, crystallized ginger and floral papaya flavor this moist quick bread. Grinding up some of the papaya seeds add a nice subtle kick to the bread, and means you can use even more of the papaya fruit, which is always nice. Save the rest of the papaya seeds and use them in a salad dressing. They have a mild peppery taste that works well on a leafy green salad or pasta salad that you want to infuse with a bit of tropical flavor. Grind the papaya seeds in a mortar and pestle if you have one, or if you don’t, place it in a ziplock bag, seal and crush the seeds with a heavy rolling pin.
