Ingredients:

2 avocados, peeled, halved and pitted
2 papayas, peeled, halved and seeded (I donâ€™t know what papayas are like where you live, but the ones down here in Caribbean are not so big! I needed two for this recipe â€“ the key here is to have equal amounts of avocado and Papaya).
1 large slightly green banana
2 tsp butter
1 3/4 tbsp brown sugar
1/4 tbsp cinnamon

Method:

1. Slice the banana lengthwise into equal slices.
2. Fry the slices in a little butter until slightly brown on both sides.
3. Brush the butter thinly over the banana and fry for a further few minutes.
4. Mix the sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle each slice with the mixture.

Serves: 2
Serve with ice cream or whipped cream

I simply adore this papaya and Avocado salad recipe. Avocado and papaya has this wonderful creamy texture, that’s not too sweet but not at all bitter. This salad can be eaten as a light snack or used as a side salad to your favorite dishes. The colors are beautiful and the flavors are simple; that’s what makes this recipe great. It’s definitely in my top 5 favorite salads of all time. Go ahead give it a try, and tell us what you think in the comments or visit of Caribbean Recipes Facebook page.

Titiri Accras can be very addictive, trust me I know. Consider yourself warned. I can still remember this lady, who every Friday night fried Titiri Accra at the side on of the road in Newtown. People would come from all over Dominica just to buy these Accras. The only downside to this recipe – Titiri are not common in the mainland countries. But you can always improvise by using salt fish instead of Titiri. Have you tried Titiri Accras? Are they great or what! Letâ€™s hear your comments.
