FIVE FINGER (STARFRUIT) CHOW

Chow is an absolute favourite. Keep in mind that most people make chow with a sense of eye and taste and personal preference. Some like it really peppery, salty and even tangy. Our suggested measurements are an average guide to making your own chow which you can adjust to your personal taste.

Ingredients

7 – 10 five finger or starfruit

5 – 6 large cloves garlic, finely chopped

Juice of 1 large lime

4 – 6 blades shadon beni

½ tsp brown sugar

 1 hot pepper (scotch bonnet), seeded and chopped

 ¾ tsp salt

 ½ tsp black pepper

Directions

  1. Cut the five finger into thin slices and place in a large bowl.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Let rest for approximately ½ hour in refrigerator if desired to allow the flavours to blend and the salt to draw liquid from the fruit.
  3. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve.
