Papaya and Port Wine (Angolan Papaya Com Vinho Do Porto)

This light and refreshing appetizer is very simple to make. The port wine adds an interesting twist and there is just something delicious about a squeeze of lime over papaya. The hardest part is cutting up the papaya. Lop off both ends, peel off the skin with a vegetable peeler, slice the long way, scoop out the seeds with a big spoon and slice.

1 ripe papaya, peeled and sliced thinly
2 limes, cut into wedges
port wine, 1 shot
sea salt
black pepper, freshly ground

Arrange the papaya slices on a plate. Add the lime wedges. Pour over the port wine. Sprinkle with freshly ground pepper to taste.

Of course you can make individual servings if you prefer.
